This workshop is hosted by the SIB Swiss Institute of Bioinformatics and the Statistical Bioinformatics Group (Institute of Molecular Life Sciences at the University of Zurich).
Data Carpentry workshops are for any researcher who has data they want to analyze, and no prior computational experience is required. This hands-on workshop teaches basic concepts, skills and tools for working more effectively with data.
We will cover Data organization in spreadsheets; Introduction to command line; Introduction to R; Data analysis in R, Data visualization in R and additional topics. Participants should bring their laptops and plan to participate actively. By the end of the workshop learners should be able to more effectively manage and analyze data and be able to apply the tools and approaches directly to their ongoing research.
This course is addressed to graduate students and other researchers with little to no R experience.
At the end of the course, the participants are expected to:
This course is designed for beginners and there is no programming requirement.
Participants must bring a laptop with a Mac, Linux, or Windows operating sytem (not a tablet, Chromebook, etc.) that they have administrative privileges on.
