Workshop: R Programming Summer Camp

Monday, August 19, 2024toFriday, August 23, 2024

Introduction to data science in R and documenting in Quarto 

This workshop will introduce you to R, a common statistical programming language used across many courses at McGill as well as to Quarto (typesetting language useful for producing documents that contain mathematical content and code). These are very useful and powerful tools, but they have somewhat of a steep learning curve. So, the goal of this part of the workshop is to get you up a good part of that learning curve. 

  • Day 1: Introduction to the basics of R and the graphical user interface RStudio 
  • Day 2: Working with data (cleaning, pre-processing, dealing with missing values) 
  • Day 3: Visualizing data and producing graphs 
  • Day 4: Statistical prequel and more tips and tricks on working with R 
  • Day 5: Typesetting using Quarto and RStudio Add-Ins 

Date: from Monday, ÃÛÌÒ´«Ã½app9th to Friday, August 23rd 2024 (5 days)
Time: from 9:30 am to 4:00 pm, each day
Location: Downtown Campus, , room 129, 3700 rue McTavish
