[Plantsci] FW: R workshops in September

[Lambert, Georgina M - (glambert)]

All sessions will be 9-11 am on Tuesday in the iSpace in the Science-Engineering Library<http://new.library.arizona.edu/ispace>. To get the most out of these workshops, participants should bring a laptop with R and RStudio installed<https://jcoliver.github.io/learn-r/000-setup-instructions.html>.

  *   September 4: Introduction to graphics in R. This hands-on workshop will demonstrate how to create a basic plot in R from a text file of data.  This introduction provides an entry point for those unfamiliar with R (or a refresher for those who are rusty).
  *   September 11: Open R lab. Bring your R questions or just come in to write some code and enjoy coffee and pastries.
  *   September 18: Introduction to Machine Learning in R with caret. During this workshop we'll work on a classification problem using the caret package in R to learn how to partition and pre-process data, perform algorithm selection, and tune and compare models. Workshop attendees should have a beginner to intermediate-level proficiency with R, and should come with R and RStudio installed, as well as the caret package (and dependencies) installed.
  *   September 25: Open R lab. Bring your R questions or just come in to write some code and enjoy coffee and pastries.
