This workshop is part of Love Data Week at McGill #LoveData23.
Overview: This workshop presents an overview of the data science life cycle using the programming language R in the statistical programming environment RStudio. Using a simple data set, the instructor will walk participants through the different steps of the data science life cycle (e.g., manipulation, plotting, communication, code version control), presenting relevant R packages and representative commands for each step.
Prerequisites:
· Knowledge of file systems and RStudio would be helpful, e.g. from Understanding filesystems and Introduction to programming in R (workshops restricted to the McGill community).
· Install R and RStudio on your computer. You can find installation instructions here. Please contact us (cdsi.science [at] mcgill.ca) if you are having trouble with installation.
