Introduction to R

This 2-hour workshop introduces the basics of data analysis in R, a powerful and free open-source programming environment. You will learn the core properties of the R programming language through step-by-step examples and scaffolded exercises with data provided by the instructor. At the end of the workshop you will be able to import, analyze, manipulate, and save data sets, and create simple plots of the data. No previous programming experience is assumed, but you should come with R already installed on their computers (available here: http://cran.cnr.berkeley.edu/).
