Dear all,
We will run two R courses this June!
Getting started with R (18-22 June 2018) with Dr. Alexandre Courtiol (Leibniz Institute for Zoo and Wildlife Research, Berlin (Germany)):
https://www.physalia-courses.org/courses-workshops/course13/
This course aims at overcoming those challenges by providing solid basics in R. At the end of the course, participants should feel much more at ease writing a computer script in the R language which covers the entire spectrum of a statistical analysis: reading data, editing them, plotting them, and analysing them. Because linear models are the dominant statistical tool in many fields, the part of the course focusing on analyses per se (see schedule) will focus on those, but principles seen during the class should greatly help those interested in other kind of analyses as well. The course will be presented over five days and will mix explanations and guided exercises. Students are free to practice with their own datasets during the course.
Advanced R Programming (25-29 June 2018) with VP Nagraj (University of Virginia (USA))
https://www.physalia-courses.org/courses-workshops/course26/
The goal of this course is to provide training on how to start using R as a programming language: to write new functions, develop new tools or, at the very least, interact with data programmatically. While some examples may be drawn from bioinformatics, statistics and / or epidemiology, the material will not focus on data analysis techniques. As such, the course will generally be domain-agnostic. Researchers from a variety of disciplines are welcome. Those interested should have basicfamiliarity with R or another programming language.
Best regards,
Carlo
