This one day course aims to provide a basic introduction to R for those with no previous experience with this statistical programming language. We will discuss some of the motivations to use R (instead of other applications) and provide a practical introduction to the basic grammar of R language.
By the end of the day you should:
* Be familiar with different GUIs and environments that are used to interact with R and to be comfortable with communicating in syntax
* Understand the basic structure of the R language and how R stores data on its memory
* Be able to produce basic data visualisations
* Be able to fit standard statistical models in R
* Know where to go next in order to strengthen your R training
Introduction to STATA<https://www.cmist.manchester.ac.uk/study/short/introductory/intro-to-stata/> - 8th November 2017
The course provides an introductory training in Stata, a statistical package increasingly used for social research data analysis which has powerful data manipulation procedures and extensive and powerful statistical capabilities.
The aim of the course is to familiarise participants with the basic features of Stata 14.
On completing the course, participants will have covered the following through a combination of presentation and practical sessions:
* The STATA environment: Opening and exploring files, looking at labels, editing and entering data.
* Exploratory analysis: logging outputs, producing tables, subsetting and descriptive statistics.
* Data manipulation: computing new variables, recoding, keeping and dropping, saving commands in a .do file.
* STATA graphics, help and supporting resources.
On completion of the course, participants will have the necessary familiarity with Stata to move on to further Stata courses and/or continue learning themselves
