Course Overview
R is a popular and free programming language that is widely used for statistical analysis for behavioural science. Led by experts in behavioural science, participants will be guided through essential concepts such as data types, functions, loops, and packages, before diving into statistical analysis (e.g., t-test ANOVA, correlation, regression).
The workshop emphasizes hands-on practice, reproducible workflows, and real-world applications, ensuring that participants gain practical skills to enhance their research competence.
By the end of the session, participants will be equipped with the knowledge and tools to conduct rigorous, transparent, and efficient data analysis.
