The SRA has 3 courses coming up which use the free software toolkit ‘R’. The courses are all run online, using Zoom.
28 to 30 September (run over 3 afternoons) – Regression Analysis using R, with Dr Pamela Campanelli
Regression analysis is one of the most widely used statistical methods. Rather than simply putting in computer code, learn the statistical concepts behind the software. Learn about correlation and bivariate, multiple and logistic regression using data from a health survey. Learn how to use the R software to make these analyses. The course is highly interactive and there are workshop sessions for discussing and understanding the statistical concepts as well as for practicing with the R software.

The cost to attend this course is £330 for SRA members and £440 for non-members.
1 October – Introduction to R for Social Researchers, with Dr Alexandru Cernat
One of the most popular software tools for data management and analysis is the open source package R, which is often used with the Rstudio interface. These are extremely powerful and are able to handle most types of data and analyses used in social research.
In this course you will learn the basics of R and Rstudio. We will cover the main types of objects in R and how to select cases and variables. We will also discuss how to import and export data and how to describe the data using tables and summary analyses. Through the practical exercises you will get accustomed to running functions in R and using the syntax. Read morewww.the-sra.org.uk/training
The cost to attend this course is £165 for SRA members and £220 for non-members.
22 October - Data Management and Visualisation with R, with Dr Alexandra Cernat
In this course you will be introduced to the use of R and will learn how to prepare and visualize data. We will focus on the use of the ‘Tidyverse’ package. Inspired by the concept of “tidy data” this package enables users to import, merge, recode, restructure and visualize data very efficiently.
Half of the course will focus on how to efficiently transform variables and prepare them for analysis while the other half will focus on visualization. The course will combine presentations of the key concepts, hands on practical sessions and discussions of the solutions. In the practical part we will be using real world data to prepare the participants for working with their own data. Read more www.the-sra.org.uk/training
The cost to attend this course is £165 for SRA members and £220 for non-members.
