To help participants gain the basic skills needed to begin using Program R and introduce resources for continued learning.
Program R is a free software for statistical computing and graphics (http://www.r-project.org/), and R is an increasingly useful tool in the wildlife scientist’s toolbox. R is notorious for having a steep learning curve, so we offer this full-day workshop as a hands-on and guided introduction. Each participant must provide their own computer (with software-installation privileges), and instructions will be sent to participants in advance to download the free software used in the workshop. Example datasets and materials will be distributed at the workshop. Multiple assistant instructors will be on hand to assist with troubleshooting any issues that arise.
Designed for pre-beginners (those who may have never seen Program R) and beginners (those who may have dabbled lightly in R and would like to learn more). Registration capped at 30 people.
