- Royal Society of Biology Introduction to Reproducible Analyses in R, one-day CPD Learn to experiment with R to make analyses and figures more reproducible Overview An increase in the complexity and scale of biological data means biologists are increasingly required to develop the data skills needed to design reproducible workflows for the simulation, collection, organisation, processing, analysis and presentation of data. Developing such data skills requires at least some coding, also known as scripting. This makes your work (everything you do with your raw data) explicitly described, totally transparent and completely reproducible. However, learning to code can be a daunting prospect for many biologists! That's where an Introduction to reproducible analyses in R comes in! R is a free and open source language especially well-suited to data analysis and visualisation and has a relatively inclusive and newbie-friendly community. R caters to users who do not see themselves as programmers, but then allows them to slide gradually into programming. Who is this course for? Introduction to reproducible analyses in R is aimed at researchers at all stages of their careers interested in experimenting with R to make their analyses and figures more reproducible. Prerequisites No previous coding experience will be assumed. You can work on your own laptops or use a computer at the training venue, the University of York. If using your own laptop you would ideally have installed R and RStudio already. This is straightforward but there will be a chance to get help with it during registration. Learning outcomes After this workshop the successful learner will be able to: Find their way around the RStudio windows Create and plot data using the base package and ggplot Explain the rationale for scripting analysis Use the help pages Know how to make additional packages available in an R session Reproducibly Import data in a variety of formats Understand what is meant by the working directory, absolute and relative paths and be able to apply these concepts to data import Summarise data in a single group or in multiple groups Recognise tidy data format and carry out some typical data tidying tasks Develop highly organised analyses including well-commented scripts that can be understood by future you and others Use markdown to produce reproducible analyses, figures and reports
