#R Programming

My second most asked question is always how I learnt R     I taught myself mainly by just trial and error (I have to actually physically do something I can’t just watch videos as I don’t take it in) so I started with the very basics.   I think it’s so easy to overdo and feel like you need to know how to do everything or a lot of things at the start. Stick to simple things like understanding the R studio interface and loading packages and other basic commands     (after this most things I learnt were googling very specifically what I needed to do and adding the command to a ‘useful command’ list I have)    Next:  Following a vignette from start to finish (one that would be similar to what I would soon need) I then would go through and click on functions to look at the arguments (this tells you all the parameters for the function) and how I can change them if needed!    Finally try swirl it’s so easy to just load directly in the terminal and you learn as you go!        What’s your top tips?    I also have so many more so make sure you follow!      #phd #student #coding #rprogramming #university #tipsandtricks

1️⃣ “R for Data Science” by Wickham et al. is widely recommended across stats forums as one of the best books to learn hands on R programming. The is available online for free at www.r4ds.hadley.nz 2️⃣ HarvardX Data Science R Basics is free to audit assumes no prior knowledge and teaches you foundational programming concepts and operations (it doesn’t get into statistical modeling yet). 3️⃣ “An Introduction to Statistical Learning with Applications in R” by James et al. can be a little bit more technical and advanced (as it actually covers statistical topics), but comes with great real-life R coding examples.The PDF of the book is available online for free at www.statlearning.com 4️⃣ www.rscreencasts.com has a long list of screencast videos by data scientist David Robinson where he shares real-world examples of live data analyses in R, including how to approach analysis, what packages and methods he uses, as well as general R tricks and tips. 5️⃣ If you prefer more interactive learning, you might enjoy swirl (swirlstats.com) that teaches you R programming interactively inside the R console, no reading books or watching courses required. ❓Any other good recs?

A tip if you’re trying to learn R ⬇️ SWIRL is a package within R Studio that has tutorials so you can “learn R within R.” I did the R Programming course as an assignment a year or so ago and now use it to refresh my memory about basic terms and codes within R. It also looks like there are quite a few “courses” within SWIRL that are not just for beginners if you already know some R and want to advance - although I haven’t tried them yet 😄 Share this with your friends who might find this useful since R is surprisingly necessary for a lot of majors and academic fields 👩🏼‍💻 #rprogramming #collegetips #gradschool #womeninstem #r

RStudio shortcuts in 60 seconds⏰ Save a bunch of time on both mac or windows by using this shortcut to run the same region of code over and over again to test changes and see how your visualizations will look. #rstudio
