IMPORTANT: Unlike in-person workshops, all STS remote workshops require students to have all necessary software pre-installed before the start of the session. You may download R from https://repo.miserver.it.umich.edu/cran/ and download the free version of RStudio from https://rstudio.com/products/rstudio/download/. We recommend you do this a day before your workshop is scheduled.

R is a free, open-source software and programming language for statistical computing and graphics. R is particularly popular for its graphical capabilities, but it is also prized for its GIS capabilities which make it relatively easy to generate raster-based models.

Topics Covered Include:

• Setting up R and RStudio
• Basic Syntax
• Vectors
• Matrix and DataFrames
• Importing Data
• Working with Data
• Basic Charting and Plotting

Audience:

Anyone interested in learning the basics of R and R Studio

Prerequisites:

Basic computing skills

Note: Software Training for Students services are only available to currently registered undergraduate or graduate students of UW-Madison. Faculty, staff and former students are not eligible to attend our training workshops or consultations.
