Stats Chat: Data Extraction and Analysis with R/RStudio In-Person
Wondering how to get data into R and start making sense of it? This introductory, interactive workshop is designed for beginners who want to learn the essentials of data extraction, retrieval, and basic analysis using R and RStudio.
We’ll cover common ways to bring data into R—from files like CSVs and spreadsheets to simple online sources—and show you how to explore and understand what you’ve imported. You’ll learn how to ask basic analytical questions of your data and calculate simple summaries.
This session is highly hands-on and paced for newcomers. You’ll follow along in RStudio, experiment with real examples, and build confidence navigating R’s tools for analysis. No prior experience is required.
Stats Chat is a weekly workshop series that dives into data and statistical learning every Thursday afternoon at 2pm. New to quantitative research or looking to level up your data skills? Join us at the Geospatial Map and Data Centre at the main floor of the TMU Library!
