# R for Reproducible Scientific Analysis



An introduction to R for non-programmers using the [Gapminder][gapminder] data.

Please see [https://swcarpentry.github.io/r-novice-gapminder](https://swcarpentry.github.io/r-novice-gapminder) for a rendered version of this material,

[the lesson template documentation][lesson-example]

for instructions on formatting, building, and submitting material,

or run `make` in this directory for a list of helpful commands.



The goal of this lesson is to teach novice programmers to write modular code

and best practices for using R for data analysis. R is commonly used in many

scientific disciplines for statistical analysis and its array of third-party

packages. We find that many scientists who come to Software Carpentry workshops

use R and want to learn more. The emphasis of these materials is to give

attendees a strong foundation in the fundamentals of R, and to teach best

practices for scientific computing: breaking down analyses into modular units,

task automation, and encapsulation.



Note that this workshop focuses on the fundamentals of the programming

language R, and not on statistical analysis.



The lesson contains more material than can be taught in a day.  The [instructor notes page]({{ page.root }}/guide) has some suggested lesson plans suitable for a one or half day workshop.



A variety of third party packages are used throughout this workshop. These

are not necessarily the best, nor are they comprehensive, but they are

packages we find useful, and have been chosen primarily for their

usability.
