Workshop aims

• To introduce the main components of the Tidyverse
  • readr (to read files)
  • dplyr (to manipulate data)
  • ggplot2 (to make graphs)
• Assumes a basic knowledge of R
• We haven’t got time to cover all of the tidyverse, e.g. forcats, purrr, modelr

Workshop history

• The workshop is based on UoM’s Data Analysis Using R full day course
  • The notes for this are always online and publicly accessible
• That course is based on Software Carpentry’s R for reproducible scientific research course

How the workshop works

• The course is interactive
  • These are the only slides
• Course notes
  • Try to type-along without the notes
  • All the code is in the notes (Extras menu); you can cut and paste this into RStudio.
  • The workshop materials will remain online after the course.
