This one day course aims to provide a basic introduction to R and RStudio for those with no previous experience with this statistical programming language. We will discuss some of the motivations to use R (instead of other applications) and will provide a practical introduction to the basic grammar of R language. Specifically, we will cover how to create and import data into R and will provide an overview of the ggplot2 package for data visualisation. We will also introduce the rmarkdown language to generate fully reproducible reports and analysis. The course will also provide information on books and other various resources where you could continue your R training.
