SUMMARY:Introduction to R syntax: part 1: operators\, expressions\, variables\, built-in functions\, arguments\, data types\, vectors (Online)
DESCRIPTION:In these tutorials you will learn to read and write R scripts 
 to do computations\, data manipulation\, and simple analysis. You will get 
 hands-on coding experience via a web application\, no software installation 
 is required to attend. The goal is to explain the rules of the R syntax in 
 general terms so you can make more sense of an introductory book or of the 
 recipes you will find when searching for solutions on the internet. This 
 tutorial is full of short exercises and code examples and it is directed to 
 undergraduate or graduate students interested in learning R to apply it in 
 assignments\, projects\, or theses but with no programming 
 experience.\n\nPart 1 (Aug 31 @ 4) covers using operators\, expressions\, 
 variables\, and built-in functions in R. Understanding assignment and how 
 arguments work when calling functions. The data types and structures R 
 offers to model data. Introduction to vectors. Part 2 (Sept 1 @ 4) covers 
 the remaining data structures to model and manipulate data: factors\, 
 matrices\, arrays\, lists\, and finally\, the workhorse of data analysis\, 
 the data frame. We will study the basics of subsetting and ordering for 
 data structures. Finally\, we will have a look at user functions and basic 
 control flow.\n\nThis workshop is taught by Pablo Adames.  Pablo is a 
 professional engineer in the province of Alberta with Masters in chemical 
 and software engineering. His career has involved R&D\, software 
 development\, and technical training in engineering software applications 
 in Oil and Gas production simulation\, real-time event identification\, 
 transportation process management\, and computer vision. He has worked for 
 companies like Neotec Consultants\, Schlumberger\, VMG Group\, Fotec 
 Solutions\, and Canadian Pacific Railways\, and is currently with 
 IntelliView Technologies.\n\nPablo is a co-leader in the CalgaryR group and 
 has presented several Technical Conference papers\, the more relevant data 
 analysis has to do with flow model classification using clustering\, 
 optimal parameter selection in flow models\, and improving recommendation 
 systems for charitable donations.
