Summer RII workshop

Welcome back! This website is meant to make the Summer RII workshop a little easier to get through. The purpose of this course is to 1) refresh your memory on the skills you’ve learned so far at FSU, and 2) prepare you for more advanced methods courses in the department, such as MLE or Causal Inference. In the workshop, you’ll be introduced to statistical coding topics, including (but not limited to): different types of R objects, loops and nested loops, simulating data, sampling, creating functions in R, and (briefly) optimization in R. These materials were largely influenced by the materials of Damian Boldt, who ran the first iteration of this workshop.

Similar to the website I made for the Summer RI workshop, this page gives a description of each section of the website. If you have any questions, please email me, but please check here first. For most questions related to expectations for the class or any sort of materials, the answers can be found here.

Course Materials

The Course Materials page will have all the materials for each day of the class. This includes whatever slides I use, example code, and so on.

Homework

As the name suggests, this page will have the homeworks for the workshop. This page will include the homework instructions, and upload links to submit your homework to.

Data

The Data page is where you can find the data we will be using for the class. The data is hyperlinked into the heading of each section. Underneath the heading there will be some code to help you read the data into R.

Additional Resources

Given that the course is only three days, we realistically can only do so much. On the Additional Resources page, you can find links to some other resources to help make learning R a little easier.
