Who We Are

Our Love For Academic Data Analysis and Mentoring Less Reached Groups

During our more than 15 years of supervising numerous graduate student projects and reviewing for academic journals, I have noted a concerning trend where in many cases, graduate students (Master and PhD researchers) set forth into their projects with scanty knowledge and guidance concerning statistical aspects of experimental / research design, data analysis and interpretation......

Frequently Asked Questions

No, R is a great language for programming beginners to learn, and you don't need any prior experience with code to pick it up.

The foreign package contains functions that will allow you to import data files from some of the most commonly used statistical software packages such as SAS, Stata and SPSS. To download the foreign package from the CRAN website from within R, click on “Packages” and then “Install package(s) from CRAN”. You will then need to load the package, and you can use the help function.

Among many user-written packages, package pastecs has an easy to use function called stat.desc to display a table of descriptive statistics for a list of variables. You can download the package and then load it into memory as shown below, assuming that your computer is connected to the internet.

Like other statistical software packages, R is capable of handling missing values. However, to those accustomed to working with missing values in other packages, the way in which R handles missing values may require a shift in thinking. On this page, we will present first the basics of how missing values are represented in R. Next, for those coming from SAS, SPSS, and/or Stata, we will outline some of the differences between missing values in R and missing values elsewhere. Finally, we will introduce some of the tools for working with missing values in R, both in data management and analysis.

When there are multiple measurements of the same subject, across time or using different tools, the data is often described as being in "wide" format if there is one observation row per subject with each measurement present as a different variable and "long" format if there is one observation row per measurement (thus, multiple rows per subject). Different functions require different formats, and so the need to reshape a dataset may arise.

This data management step can also be done in R using the summaryBy() command in the "doBy" package. At the end we included one example using function collap() from new package "collapse". Let’s consider the dataset hsb2. We can start by collapsing the data by prog and calculating the mean of socst. The default summary calculation is the mean, as indicated by the output.

What they are saying about us

Thank you for breaking down the basic R topics. I am glad I was part of the course- very useful. Very interesting you are now flattening the steep learning curve

Esther Nyambura

As we come to a close to this exciting program, a few things have been resonating with me.

Personally, gaining skills in R programming has just been an addition to the few but critical lessons I have learned from you and your colleagues. Allow me to share these here.

1. I have learned the beauty of making leaders by investing in others who may not even pay back the worth of your investment.

2. I have learned what it means to sacrificially give. You all have your day jobs and you still find time to grow all the participants in this course. Most importantly, you do this gladly without any restraints.

Thanks a lot,,, will forever remember your quote, 'nobody has monopoly of knowledge and in life we keep learning new things' I did not know what to expect but the deal of online evening class of 2 hours a week, at a very minimal fee was very lucrative. When the course begun, it was exciting to meet many people interested in the learning. The tutors taught in a very interesting incorporating practicals and group work.
