Exploratory Data Analysis with R

Workshop series
Computational and Data Systems Initiative

Exploratory Data Analysis (EDA) is the first step when starting data analysis. You explore your data sets to 'get a feel' for the variables involved and whether your data entails certain patterns. Sometimes, EDA is also associated with data cleaning and wrangling; this is not part of this EDA workshop, but of our 'Introduction to Data Science with R' workshop.

At the end of this workshop, you will be able to
     > use different visualization tools to analyze distributions and correlations
     > know and apply different ways to treat missing data
     > apply classification and standardization methods
     > apply different pattern discovery tools (projection/dimensionality reduction and clustering)

Pre-requisites? Familiarity with basic concepts in R

Date: Monday January 17, 2022
Time: 1PM to 3PM
Location: online (we will send you a Zoom link before the workshop starts)
Instructor: Tim Elrick

This workshop is offered for free by the Faculty of Science to the McGill community. Due to the limited amount of spots available, if you sign up for a workshop and don't show up, you will not be allowed to attend another workshop this semester.
