Introduction to R

Instructor: Jesse Fagan

This workshop provides a short, hands-on tutorial in using R, particularly with respect to doing network analysis in R. The R programming language has the ability to connect network analysis with ERGM, mapping, and nearly every form of statistical modeling. We will cover a brief introduction of R, import and export of data, basic network analysis, and visualization.

If you plan on attending, please download and install R prior to the session. If you attend the mini module without first downloading R, you will still gain valuable information, but may not be able to participate in the hands-on portions. Participants can download R here: http://cran.rstudio.com/ then install the IDE for R, RStudio, here: http://www.rstudio.com/ide/download/desktop

Participants in the Stochastic Models session are very strongly recommended to take the Introduction to R Mini Module.
