Tech Kits
Tech Kits are part of the walk-in service provided by OPIM Innovate. There are three levels of difficulty meant for different users and their experience with the different technologies. Many of the Tech Kits build off each other as you progress.
Beginner
Introducing R Programming
Length: 30 - 60 Minutes
Description: R is a language and environment for statistical computing and graphics. It is both widely used and open-source, providing great flexibility for data analysis. This tech kit provides an overview of the R interface along with a number of examples involving arithmetic operations, variables, comparison operators, vectors, matrices, data frames and factors.
Intermediate
Exploring the Capabilities of R
Length: 30 - 60 Minutes
Description: As a result of R’s status as an open-source language and software environment, a plethora of R learning resources are available for users. This makes R an attractive language to learn and leverage. This tech kit explores using packages, relational operators, conditional operators, loops, and functions within R.
Advanced
Recognizing the Versatility of R
Length: 30 - 60 Minutes
Description: Many useful R functions come in packages: free libraries of code written by R’s user community. In addition to built-in packages, over 5,000 packages are available for download. This tech kit explores importing, tidying, summarizing and visualizing data using built-in capabilities and additional packages.
