R workshop series: 8. Everything in its right place

Hello all,

This is the final workshop in the current series. It will give us a chance to fill in any major gaps in our knowledge and prepare us for a long and happy future in data analytics.

The workshop be broken up into three main sections;

A and B: Functions and Loops. Functions allow you to automate common tasks in a more powerful and general way than copy-and-pasting. If you find yourself writing the same lines of code over and over again and performing the same task, you may want to introduce iteration to your scripts. This will also serve to open the door to the purrr package

C: In this section we will explore the communication of your results using R Markdown. R Markdown documents are fully reproducible and support dozens of output formats, like PDFs. This will close the circle on the course overall.

Note: Places this workshop are already allocated. If you wish to be notified of future workshops, send an email to b.palmer@ucc.ie to register your interest
