Introduction to R

R is a programming environment that runs on Windows, Macintosh and UNIX platforms. This class is designed for people who are just starting to use R. The students in the class will have a hands-on experience using R for doing statistics, graphics, and data management. The class notes are the scripts for the class. The R class notes do not contain any of the computer output. The class notes are not meant to be an R textbook or a reference manual. However, it is possible for individuals to use the class notes to help them learn R even if they don’t enroll in the class.

Students should bring their own laptop computers with R 3.6.1 (https://cran.r-project.org/ ) installed.  Installation of R-Studio (https://www.rstudio.com/products/rstudio/download/ ) is also strongly recommended.
