Research Design and Analysis Unit offers free "Introduction to R course"

May 4, 2020

The Research Design and Analysis Unit (RDA) is hosting a free online "Introduction to R" course this summer. The course will be hosted online from June 1 to July 26, 2020 (8 weeks). It is designed for any graduate students or postdocs interested in discovering more about the open-source statistical software R and more generally, statistical analyses/data management. Prior experience in R is not required and graduate students and postdocs from any department/discipline are eligible to participate.

The format of this course will be a combination of online demonstrations/lectures, hands-on activities, and an independent final project. A "certificate of completion" will be awarded to students who actively participate in the workshop activities (i.e., those students who complete weekly assignments/the final project and watch the weekly pre-recorded lectures/tutorials).

Participants can expect to:

Learn the basics of R such as importing and exporting data.

Learn about R data structures and R packages.

Learn strategies for data manipulation within R (compute, recode, selecting cases, etc.).

Work through examples of how to conduct basic statistical analyses in R (descriptive, correlation, regression, T-test, ANOVA).

Learn how to graph the results of basic statistical analyses in R.

This course will be facilitated by the RDA Unit's director Dr. Ty Partridge and consultants Laura Pineault and Sabrina Bierstetel. To reserve your spot in the course, please email RDAUnit@wayne.edu with your name and contact information. Space is limited to the first 50 who register.
