Spreading the passion for coding: CBCS February R workshops
CBCS has just successfully hosted a series of workshops teaching participants valuable skills in using the R programming language. The February R workshops were held over five days (10-14 February) and saw over 130 participants of different experience levels from academia, government and industry. In this workshop series, the team focused on statistical modelling techniques and how they can be correctly applied in R, featuring topics such as linear modelling, mixed modelling, spatial modelling and multivariate statistics.
