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:
