Hi all! I'm a Phd Candidate in anthropology, studying the physical effects of stress in childhood and stress involved in living as a recent immigrant in the US.
I'm also a cellist and a (bad) gardener. I use R for my statistical and graphic purposes.
Je parle français et/y hablo español
Nice to meet you all!
@eholdsie
hiiiii!!! as a non-programmer (me), I'm curious how difficult it was to learn R? I do a lot of data analytics with my work and while the numbers make sense to me, I know a lot of people relate to more visual representation...
@eholdsie My brother-in-law told me I needed to get into R just because of how much I ****LOVE**** pretty graphs, lol!
Thanks for the response - I'm guessing I can find a learning course somewhere....
@MissSnarkerson definitely! Also people do a whole bunch of tutorials and lectures on YouTube, I was just watching some for an analysis I’m working on.
@MissSnarkerson I’m a non-programmer as well. I like playing around with coding, which helps. R does have a real learning curve but I think it’s pretty intuitive. Plus as it’s free and accessible, a lot of people are using it and willing to help. A lot of R is google.
I definitely recommend it though, it makes some pretty graphs 😄
