UPSC technical seminar (UPSCtech)
The speaker will be Laura Morales who will talk about:
Getting started with R: preparing, analyzing, and visualizing data
Would you like to analyze your data with R, but don’t know where to start? Do you consider yourself a beginner in R scripting or have you never used R at all? Would you like to make the transition from Excel to R in order to generate reproducible results and figures?
In this episode of the UPSC Technical Seminar series, Laura will take you through your first steps in (1) preparing your data for use in R, with examples in Excel; (2) loading your data files into R from Excel and other common formats; and (3) writing basic R functions for data analysis (e.g. t-tests, ANOVA, regression) and plotting. All exercises will be done live and you are welcome to bring your laptop if you would like to follow along (install R and RStudio beforehand) or if you would like one-on-one help with your own data.
The UPSCtech seminar series is an internal series organised by PhD students and Postdocs at UPSC to exchange knowledge about different methods and techniques used in plant science.
