SUMMARY:R Showcase: Statistics Canada Microdata
DESCRIPTION:Statistics Canada releases Public Use Microdata Files (PUMFs) 
 for the Census and many of its surveys. These de-identified files contain 
 responses at the individual level and are a rich source of data for 
 researchers.\n\nThis workshop demonstrates how to access\, explore\, and 
 analyze Statistics Canada microdata using R. We will work with the Canadian 
 Tobacco and Nicotine Survey but the content applies to any Statistics 
 Canada PUMF\, hundreds of which are freely available in Abacus\, UBC 
 Library’s data repository.\n\nThere are no prerequisites. Participants 
 familiar with R and RStudio are welcome to follow along on their own 
 workstations. If you are new to R\, we recommend watching first to learn 
 how R can be used for analysis and reproducibility\, then practicing later 
 with the resources introduced during the session.\n\n \n\nAbout this 
 workshop series\n\nR Showcase: Statistics Canada Microdata is one of 
 several R workshops offered by the UBC Library Research Commons. The goal 
 of the series is to introduce participants to the data analysis and 
 visualization potential of R and to encourage further self-paced 
 exploration. Other workshops will be offered in fall 2027\, check the 
 calendar for upcoming events:

 questions\, concerns or accessibility needs please email 
 research.commons@ubc.ca. To keep up-to-date with all of the workshops\, 
 consults and events subscribe to the UBC Library Research Commons monthly
