R Tutorial I: Introduction to R and R markdown

This course is a hands-on introduction to R where participants are guided to create an R markdown document that will save various steps of  R code and results. Basic functions and operations are covered as well as types of data and data structures. We’ll learn about importing and exporting datasets, initial data explorations, and graphical summaries. R markdown allows for a reproducible report that can be automized for different data sets and exports the report to a Word, html, or pdf file format.

Participants are encouraged to bring a laptop with R and Rstudio installed. Instructions will be emailed to participants.
