- Introduction to R and RStudio for Exploratory Data Analysis Part 1 & 2This two-part workshop will introduce R and RStudio to people with no prior experience. We will start with how to use RStudio to write and execute code, introduce data structures, and then show basic commands for working with data: loading, viewing, summarizing, simple plotting, manipulating, and saving of data. Basic R data wrangling and plotting principles using tidyverse and ggplot will be introduced along with R Markdown for creating high-quality reproducible documents to present your work.
