How to Install R Data Analysis Software on Your Own Laptop for Free & Why 

A necessary component of much of academic work is data analysis. Data analysis software is often expensive and difficult to manage. Data from one program is often not sharable to colleagues that work at other universities who have not licensed the proprietary software that you have chosen to work with. This workshop will teach you how to download and install R, which can be complicated and unclear. R can perform any statistical analysis required and read file formats from all other programs. R is free.
