This webinar series provides an overview of RStudio for users who have knowledge of the SAS programming language, but are new to the R language.
This series introduces users to the basic elements and functionalities of R programming while framing the fundamental features of the R language in terms of how they differ from SAS. The series aims to highlight the fundamental aspects of R as an object-oriented language, and the flexibility this affords.
By the end of this webinar series, participants will be able to:
- Navigate within the main windows of the RStudio user interface; import and export data; write R code to access, manipulate, and analyse data from an object-oriented perspective; and extend R functionality through the use of R packages
- Use R to generate descriptive statistics and implement methods commonly used for statistical analyses, for example two sample inference and linear regression
- Use R to generate graphs and plots commonly used for data visualization and presentation, for example scatter plots, histograms and bar plots
