The goal of this Workshop is to provide an introduction to R enabling participants to understand and use the basics of the R language. We will start with base R and its fundamental data structures and quickly progress to the concept of tidy data and the tidyverse universe of packages to import and manipulate data (namely: select, mutate, filter, summarize and merge data sets using the tidy data principles). We will also cover the basics of reading and exporting data in R, basic data manipulation operations including how to transform data from wide to long format and vice-versa.
