The possibilities R endless HMSC Tech Talk November 3rd, 2014 Nick Sard nicksard@gmail.com
R is open-source, versatile, & powerful ? Open-source ¨C Inspect and change code written by others ¨C Reproducible research ? Versatile ¨C Simulate data ¨C Statistical analysis ¨C Create functions to process data ¨C Create many types of graphics ¨C Interface with websites ? Powerful ¨C Can integrate with ¡°The Cloud¡± ? ? Oregon State University ¨C Center for Genomic Research and Bioinformatics
Many different types of people use R
R is used by many well known companies http://www.nytimes.com/2009/01/07/technology/business-computing/07program.html?pagewanted=all&_r=0
Learning R might help increase your income http://blog.revolutionanalytics.com/2014/02/r-salary-surveys.html
R is la lingua statistica ? T-test, ANOVA, Linear regression ? GLM ¨C poisson, neg. bin., zero-inflated, logit ? Mixed-effect models ? Bayesian statistics ? But there is so much more it can do¡­ http://lh6.ggpht.com/_njskKyfiNvo/TZqYIJwbALI/AAAAAAAAA3s/FealNiZLF8U/image_thumb%5B13%5D.png?imgmax=800
Libraries are always expanding R¡¯s capabilities ? Freely use libraries ¨C >30,000 functions in R ¨C Improve/modify code ? Make your own library ¨C Collection of functions ¨C Share with community
The number of R packages are growing exponentially! http://r4stats.com/articles/popularity/

The top ten downloaded R libraries http://had.co.nz/
Before we get started with a demo¡­
The standard R GUI is plain and hard to work with Use R Studio instead ;)
R Studio makes using R easier ? Integrated development environment (IDE) ¨C Highlights syntax ¨C Completes code (using tab) ¨C Automatic indentation for functions ¨C Ingrates with documentation ¨C Easy to make and save figures ¨C Links to GitHub ? Data backup ? Work on code in collaborative groups ? Let¡¯s take a quick tour
R Studio layout ¨C can be personalized Code Console Files, plots, packages, & help Workspace, Github, & more
Graphics in more detail ? Focus on libraries (not base graphics) ¨C ggplot2 created by Hadley Wickham - http://docs.ggplot2.org/current/ ? gg short for Grammar of Graphics ? Versatile and powerful graphics ¨C Maps -http://gis.stackexchange.com/questions/48828/how-to-make-beautiful-maps-in-r ? ArcMap alternative ¨C Rgl - http://casoilresource.lawr.ucdavis.edu/drupal/book/export/html/371 ? 3D graphics ¨C Shiny - http://rstudio.github.io/shiny/tutorial/#welcome ? Makes interactive graphics on the web ¨C Shiny_rgl ¨C example: https://github.com/muschellij2/shiny-sandbox ? Create 3D web graphics ¨C Plot.ly ? More interactive web based graphics: ? http://zevross.com/blog/2014/09/10/quickly-create-online-and-interactive-plots-using-plot-ly/
Reproducible research
Get stuck? Don¡¯t worry! R has an active community to help you!
