This workshop, presented by Dr. Vincent Melfi, will begin with an overview of R's data types and subsetting methods. Some simple built-in functions will be investigated to gain insight into the basic structure of R functions. Participants will then learn how to write original functions and to use the core R programming language including loops and conditional expressions to make functions more powerful and general.

Methods to create efficient and correct code such as vectorization, avoiding loops when possible, an understanding how R represents numbers and characters will be introduced, as will basic debugging tools.
