Computational Toolkit for Educational Scientists
What is this?
Excerpt from ebook: The first set of tools we will discuss will be related to statistical computation. Although there are many computational tools for statistical analysis, the first tools we will add to your computational toolkit is R. R is a free software environment for statistical computing and graphics. It can be installed on a variety of operating systems, including the MacOS, Windows, and UNIX platforms. To really make use of the computational power of R, we are also going to introduce you to RStudio, an open-source front-end1 to R.
The initial chapters of this document will address:
Installing R and RStudio; Getting started with R’s computational syntax; Wrangling data using functions from the dplyr package; and Visualizing data using functions from the ggplot2 package.
