This is an INTRODUCTION to R. We assume no/very little knowledge of R!

Learning objectives:

• Install and load R packages
• Find package and function documentation
• Load external data into R
• Create and query vectors, matrices, and data frames
• Compute descriptive statistics and regression models
• Construct basic graphical displays

In  this workshop, we will provide a hands-on introduction to Matlab, including basic programming concepts such as data structures, functions and loops, as well as applicationsof these concepts to presenting stimuli and reading in data from external tools such as Qualtrics.

Interested in using Twitter for academic research?  Using R and Python, we will learn how to use the Twitter API and other tools to gather tweets, social networks and other available data and investigate a framework for analyzing it.  Prerequisites: basic programming techniques (you can write a for loop).
