We will be aiming to simulate the classroom experience as closely as possible, with opportunities for one-to-one discussion with tutors and a focus on interactivity throughout. R is one of the leading programming languages in Data Science. It is widely used to perform statistics, machine learning, visualisations and data analyses. It is an open source programming language so all the software we will use in the course is free. This course is an introduction to R designed for participants with no programming experience. We will start from scratch by introducing how to start programming in R and progress our way and learn how to read and write to files, manipulate data and visualise it by creating different plots - all the fundamental tasks you need to get you started analysing your data. During the course we will be working with one of the most popular packages in R; tidyverse that will allow you to manipulate your data effectively and visualise it to a publication level standard.

	Solving Research Problems Creatively CANCELLED 10:00 - 13:00 17 Mill Lane, Seminar Room B While we might assume that creativity is a fixed innate ability – stereotypically leading to the creation of poems and paintings – in the context of our research, the creative thinking process that underpins creativity can be seen as a skill to be developed to solve problems large and small. Indeed, with this creative thinking process at the heart of research, research itself can be viewed as an inherently creative act. Why this course might make a difference The overall purpose of this intensive, practical workshop is to help you develop your creative thinking skills to help you solve research problems. Outcomes: With this aim in mind, the course outcomes are: To give you a systematic creative-thinking process for solving problems The opportunity to apply and develop a creative thinking process to a challenge in your current research To explore your assumptions about your own creativity

There are three core goals for this course: Use R or Python confidently for statistics and data analysis Be able to analyse datasets using standard statistical techniques Know which tests are and are not appropriate Both R and Python are free software environments that are suitable for statistical and data analysis. In this course, we explore classical statistical analysis techniques starting with simple hypothesis testing and building up to linear models and power analyses. The focus of the course is on practical implementation of these techniques and developing robust statistical analysis skills rather than on the underlying statistical theory After the course you should feel confident to be able to select and implement common statistical techniques using R or Python and moreover know when, and when not, to apply these techniques.
