quickStart with R
R and the Tidyverse are a data-first coding language that enables reproducible analytics workflows. In this two-part workshop, you’ll learn the fundamentals of R, everything you need to know to quickly get started.
In Part 1 you’ll learn how to access and install RStudio, how to wrangle data for analysis, gain a brief introduction to visualization, practice Exploratory Data Analysis (EDA), and how to generate reports. In Part 2 you’ll learn about visualization using ggplot2, how to make interactive charts for use in dashboards, how to reshape and merge data, and be introduced to models.
Part 1 has no prerequisites and no prior experience is necessary. By the end of part 1 you will import data, edit and save scripts, subset data, use projects to organize your work, and develop self-help techniques.
Part 2 requires the familiarity of part 1. By the end of part 2 you will have a familiarity with the grammar of graphics, be introduced to interactivity techniques, be able to invoke data joins and pivots, and gain an introduction to linear regression.
This next video starts at timestamp 19:42 and covers how to handle linear regression models.
