Dear Colleagues, I am pleased to announce my "R as a Programming Language" course (more info at https://training.vbcf.ac.at/training/rlang.php ). This introductory course serves as the foundation for my biostatistics trainings and teaches you the basics of the R programming language. Please read the following information carefully until the end. Who may attend? If you have received this email, you may sign up :-) Topics on Day 1: • Introduction to R: general principles. • Data structures in R: vectors, matrices, arrays, lists, data frames. Data import/export. Topics on Day 2: • Functions in R: how to write your own functions and scripts. • Visualization in R: various plot types ("classic" built-in graphics only). Out of scope: We won't discuss statistics at all. Basic biostatistics and more advanced data analysis/machine learning courses will come later. Prerequisites: Good typing skills. Experience with other programming languages is advantageous but not needed. Date/Time: 29th and 30th January (Thu-Fri), 09:00 - 13:00 on both days. Attendance: physical only, no remote participation. Reason: it's very difficult to correct typos over Zoom. Cost: free of charge. How to register: 1) Check your calendar. *** If you register but don't attend, you are taking away a place from a colleague! *** 2) Ask your supervisor for permission to attend. 3) Inform your supervisor that you won't be available during the course. (No last-minute lab meeting presentations etc!) 4) Open this URL: https://training.vbcf.ac.at/training/schedule.php Click on the [REGISTER] button and fill out the form. Please specify your job type correctly.
