Hosted by the University of Calgary Biostatistics Centre (UCBC) via Zoom (Free)

Workshop instructors: Bowei Ding and Dr. Na Li

Introduction to R is a 3.5-hour workshop introducing basic programming concepts in R and learning to execute data manipulations, calculations, basic statistical analyses, and produce useful figures and tables. Participants will also learn to write simple functions that can be used to automate analyses, and to understand similarities and differences between R and Stata.

Workshop schedule

The workshop will include a 1-hour pre-recorded video lecture session and a 2.5-hour hands-on session with 30 mins for Q & A. The lecture video will be provided one week prior to the scheduled live hands-on time, so participants will have the option to choose when to watch it. Participants are required to watch the lecture video and install R & RStudio prior to the hands-on session.

The hands-on session will be conducted virtually via Zoom. Participants will be emailed a Zoom link prior to the hands-on session. To accommodate different schedules, the hands-on session will be run twice on February 22, 4:00–6:30 p.m. and February 23, 9:00–11:30 a.m. (MST). Please register either one that fits your schedule.

No prior programming knowledge is required.
