R Mini Bootcamp

This page provides details of the introductory R workshop, R Mini BootCamp, that I prepared in HTML with accompanying codes during my Ph.D. degree for undergraduate students at NCSU.

What is R Mini BootCamp?

During my Ph.D. studies, I designed and conducted an introductory R workshop, called R Mini BootCamp, for undergraduate students at NCSU. The workshop was tailored for absolute beginners in R and provided a comprehensive guide to the core concepts of the R programming language, including R objects, functions, and control structures. In addition, the workshop covered practical topics such as how to install R and RStudio, to use R Markdown, and how to seek help with R-related issues. The workshop materials were created using RStudio and R Markdown, and are available in HTML format, making them easily accessible via any browser. Additionally, example code snippets were included in the content and supplied as a separate R script.

Coming Updates

Most of the content in the workshop remains up-to-date as it covers fundamental concepts in R. However, I am currently working on completing the Data, Descriptive Statistics, Exploratory Data Analysis, Linear Regression, and Simulations sections to provide a comprehensive resource for undergraduate economics students. Once the upcoming sections are finalized, the R Mini BootCamp will enable students to conduct research projects from scratch, starting from raw data and progressing to simple linear regression and econometric analysis.

Why You Might Use R Mini BootCamp?

Overall, the R Mini BootCamp workshop provides a solid foundation for undergraduate economics students new to R, while also offering valuable insights for more experienced users looking to deepen their knowledge of this powerful data science tool.
