R Labs in October - NEW!
Want to stay up to date with R programming training opportunities? Sign up for the University of Arizona R Users mailing list<http://arizona.us3.list-manage.com/track/click?u=db9ec68208a01ab34170f765f&id=9b673f8498&e=71068ef53d>. All sessions will be 9-11 am on Tuesday in the iSpace in the Science-Engineering Library. To get the most out of these workshops, participants should bring a laptop with R and RStudio installed.
The schedule for the remainder of October is:
     October 10: Intro to ggplot. Want to take your data visualizations to the next level? Heard about ggplot but afraid to try? In this hands-on workshop we'll introduce the ggplot package and get started on producing publication-quality graphics.
     October 17: Open R lab. Bring your R questions or just come in to write some code and enjoy coffee and pastries.
     October 24: Heatmaps & data wrangling. Heatmaps are a great way of displaying three-dimensional data in only two dimensions. But how can we easily translate tabular data into a format for heatmap plotting? By taking advantage of "data munging" and graphics packages, heatmaps are relatively easy to produce in R.
     October 31: Open R lab. Bring your R questions or just come in to write some code and enjoy coffee and pastries.
