Location
Bruninks Hall Room 114

Description

With the increasing availability of data with broad applications (and the sheer size of some of these data), it is more important than ever to be able to elucidate trends, decisions, and stories from data. This workshop will offer a hands on introduction to Data Science and Statistics using the free and publicly available software R. Assuming no background knowledge of software or Statistics, we will bring you up to speed on some foundational, modern, and popular data analysis techniques.

This short course is divided into multiple modules.  On day one we will explore the basic features of R and the power of R for constructing visualizations, summaries, tests, and regression models from data.  The modules on day two will include a gentle introduction to classification techniques (eg: trees) and conclude with an in-depth discussion on best practices for reproducible Data Science research and practice using R Markdown and github.
