R for Data Science in Psychology
I created a collection of guides for using the R programming language for statistical analysis and data graphics. This resource is geared toward undergraduate and graduate students in psychology at the University of Minnesota Duluth (UMD). I developed this resource as an introduction to R/RStudio and to address questions and dilemmas that both new and seasoned scholars encounter when managing and analyzing datasets.
Students will become familiar with R/RStudio and its basic operations, and learn how to tidy and transform data, create professional visualizations, construct and draw inferences from statistical models (e.g., t-tests, ANOVAs, linear regression, confirmatory factor analysis), and disseminate their results using tools for open and reproducible science. I hope to grow this resource over time with continued updates.
