A modern R introduction including graphics and data handling

Dear All,

The centre for statistical data analysis is pleased
to announce a new basic R, graphics and data handling course,
open to all at EMBL (including outstations).

**Course name: A modern R introduction including graphics and data handling**
**Venue: Room 202, EMBL Heidelberg (Bring your laptop!)**
**Time & date: 9:00-16:00, 14th and 15th December, 9:00- 13:00, 16th December 2016**

We will cover very recent delevopments in the R language that have made
it more user friendly and feature rich (the “tidyverse”) and introduce visualization
(ggplot2) and data handling (split-apply-combine, reshaping of data) in R.
There will also be a couple of case studies.

Some prior programming/scripting experience is very helpful
but not strictly required.
This course might also be interesting for people using a different
scripting language and are wondering what R offers nowadays

For more information, see the program below or
contact Bernd Klaus (bernd.klaus@embl.de).

Best wishes,

Bernd
