This workshop will be an introduction to the R programming language. It will cover R syntax (e.g., how to read and write R code), types of variables and objects, functions, basic data management (e.g., loading, referencing, manipulation, transformation, and subsets), basic descriptive statistics, and working with R packages like those included in the “tidyverse” for data summary and plotting. This session will use long-term limnological data for demonstrations and hands-on examples.
Presenters Dan Stich is an Assistant professor at the SUNY Oneonta. His research focuses on development and application of quantitative tools for fisheries science and management, primarily through R. Sarah Burnet is a Limnologist with the Portland District US Army Corps of Engineers and NALMS Region 10 Director. Her research is focused on long-term data collection and analysis as well as better understanding drivers to algae blooms.
