ACSPRI Course: Data Analysis, Graphics and Visualisation Using R
-- February 4-8 2013
In Preparation for the Course
Participants will be expected to bring their own
laptops (PC or MacOS X or Linux), with a recent version of R
(preferably R-2.15.1 or later) already installed.
The web page
Course preparation has details of packages that
should be installed. Included also is a link to instructions that may be
helpful in setting up R under Windows, and links to further documents.
Please contact the tutor in case of difficulty.
Intending participants with no previous experience of the R system, or
with limited previous experience, should as a minimum do the exercises
on the
Course preparation web page. This is particularly
important for participants who have not had previous exposure to a
computer language. It will be helpful, also, to work through the
first three or more chapters of the tutorial notes that are available
from:
http://www.maths.anu.edu.au/~johnm/courses/r/notes/rn1-34.pdf
