Embedded Files
So you want to run a simple analysis in R, such as calculate a mean or make a box plot?
My first assumption is that you have your data in columns in an excel file.... like this data that summarizes the length of bird wings for 10 male and 10 female birds.
To be able to have R call and use your data, save your file as a .csv file, and give it a name with no spaces or symbols, e.g. wing.csv
For a brief intro to Excel:
The next video will show you how to:
> bring a data file into R, using Tinn R
> perform summary statistics (mean, max, min)
> create a box plot
Check the bottom of this page for:
1) the R script file ABC script 1
2) wing.csv
3) population.csv
Save these files in a folder on your desktop before you begin....
Well done!
p.s. people who use "R" often like pirates, who say "ArrrrrrRRR", so expect to see weird pirate photos and references.
