Event Details

Lisa Lendway, Math, Statistics, and Computer Science, will present “R….It’s not just about statistics anymore."  Many of you may know R as a statistical computing software. It is that, but it’s much more! The RStudio IDE, which was released publicly nearly ten years ago, gives us a way to interact with R more pleasantly. It also allows us to easily create documents that incorporate text, code, and output from the code including beautiful tables and graphs, all in a reproducible way. There are even tools that we can use to make interactive tables and graphs! If you teach a class where students do statistics, make graphs, create tables, include images in documents, use symbols or mathematical notation in writing, then using RStudio might be beneficial. My goal of this talk is to show those of you who have not used R yet how easy it can be and hopefully to illustrate some new techniques to those of you who already use it.
