fundamental concepts of R & reproducible R Markdown documents

R-Ladies Manchester is ready to announce our first event!

R-Ladies Manchester is part of a global initiative, R-Ladies Global, designed to improve the gender diversity of R users worldwide and in particular, to improve the participation and experience of women in the R community. As part of the initiative, R-Ladies Manchester will host a number of talks and workshops about the use of R. It doesn't matter if you never used R or if you are an R expert, R-Ladies Manchester welcomes anyone with an interest in R. The goal is to promote R, exchange knowledge and create an R community among women. We are fully inclusive and respectful of LGBT identities - our priority is to provide a safe community space for anyone identifying as female who is interested in and/or working with R.

We will begin our first workshop by reinforcing the foundations of your data analysis knowledge and R skills, and then move on to creating reproducible reports using R Markdown. The workshop starts with some warm-ups to get your brain in R-mode, and to make sure the basics are covered. Through a series of demonstrations and hands on exercises, you will learn some of the fundamental concepts of R: basic use of the R/RStudio console, inputting and importing different data types, record keeping, graphs etc. It concludes by showing how to create reproducible R Markdown documents. You might wish to bring your own laptop!

To gain an insight in the members’ competence and interest in R, we kindly ask you to answer our short survey (https://docs.google.com/forms/d/10yy1MouWOCpvrBdygFZZFwg8MoS4xwkLtPeXoGjuNw0/edit?c=0&w=1) and to spread the word about our group.
