Information for Participants

This workshop will focus on tools (mostly in base R) to perform customized operations including looping, nested looping and conditional statements. This workshop is intended to expand the capabilities of R users with moderate experience of the language/software who are unfamiliar with structuring loops and conditional statements.

The workshop will be one hour long, followed by an optional 30-minute practice period to reinforce what you learned or consult with the instructors. Workshop materials are available at https://ubc-library-rc.github.io/loops-conditions/

To participate fully you will need to install the latest versions of R and RStudio on your computer before the workshop:

• Install R from https://cran.rstudio.com/
• Install RStudio from https://rstudio.com/products/rstudio/download/#download
