All 2024 SISBID courses are offered online only.

Participants will learn how to prepare and process data, a key step prior to visualization and statistical analysis. Our approach focuses on the concept of creating “tidy data”, e.g. data that is organized into readable and distributable files. In this module, we will:

• Use hands-on examples covering concepts on data retrieval, cleaning, manipulation, and formatting.
• Touch on reproducible research using R Markdown and collaborative code sharing using GitHub.

Module assumes some familiarity with R (see previous year’s course materials for reference).
