About this Class

This is the second class in the NIH Library Introduction to R Series. A basic understanding of R and RStudio is expected. This class provides a basic overview of R data types, data frames, and factors. Additionally, this class will cover indexing and subsetting data frames, and dealing with missing data. R is a programming language and open source environment for statistical computing and graphics. The R class series is a comprehensive collection of training sessions offered by the NIH Library Data Services program that is designed to teach non-programmers how to write modular code and to introduce best practices for using R for data analysis and data visualization. Each class uses both evidence-based best practices for programming and practical hands-on lessons.
