Event Description
R Workshop
This workshop is being filled on a first come, first served basis. The workshop is geared towards people with interests in microbial ecology that would like to learn R or to learn it better so you shouldn't feel like this isn't for you if you are a beginner. I assume no previous computer programming experience. The workshop is an even blend of lecture/discussion and hands on use of R with real data and typically uses mothur output files as a starting point. It is taught around the generation of data visualization methods commonly used by microbial ecologists. Along the way we'll learn a number of ways to work with data from within R. Here is a rough outline of what the workshop schedule will look like (it is subject to some minor changes).
- Ordination
- Stripcharts and box and whisker plots
- Line plots
- Barcharts
- Subsetting data
- Reading and writing data
- Basic parametric and non-parametric analyses
