Event Details

Description: This workshop will introduce you to the open-source R language and RStudio platform for descriptive statistical analysis. We will start with explaining the basics of importing data into R and writing an R script and then use the functionalities to undertake some basic descriptive statistics such as calculating means, medians, standard deviation, and apply hypothesis testing methods (t-test and chi-square).

Prerequisites: No prior programming knowledge or use of RStudio is required for this course, but you do need to be familiar with commonly used descriptive and summary statistics.
