LISA Statistics Short Course: A tutorial for shiny in R
(Academic)
LISA SHORT COURSES IN STATISTICS
LISA (Virginia Tech's Laboratory for Interdisciplinary Statistical Analysis) is providing a series of evening short courses to help graduate students use statistics in their research. The focus of these two-hour courses is on teaching practical statistical techniques for analyzing or collecting data. See www.lisa.stat.vt.edu/?q=short_courses for instructions on how to REGISTER and to learn more.
Fall 2014 Schedule:
Tuesday, October 7: Design of Experiments;
Tuesday, October 14: SQL in R;
Tuesday, October 21: Survey;
Tuesday, October 28: Introduction to R;
Tuesday, November 4: Generalized Linear Models and Categorical Data Analysis in R;
Tuesday, November 11: Graphics in R;
Tuesday, November 18: A tutorial for shiny in R;
Tuesday, December 2: Data Analysis in SAS;
Tuesday, November 18 ;
Instructor: Adam Edwards;
Title: A tutorial for shiny in R;
Course Information:
R is a free and powerful statistical software package that is capable of advanced statistical analysis. Since R requires the user to write computer code to execute commands, the researcher's ability to produce analytical results is limited by their computer programming prowess. Fortunately, the shiny package enables experienced R programmers to produce graphical user interfaces with customized algorithms under the hood. This gives point-and-click functionality to others, enabling complex analysis for those who are not advanced programmers.
In this short course, attendees will have the opportunity to execute and manipulate R code which produces graphical user interfaces using shiny. After a brief orientation lecture, a sophisticated shiny demo will be shown, followed by a more basic version which course attendees will have the opportunity to execute and modify.
The data used in this course has 161 observations and 9 variables corresponding to completion times for a 5k race.
This course is intended for researchers who wish to learn how to build shiny applications. Basic knowledge of R programming is strongly recommended for this course. For other LISA short courses including those which teach R programming, see www.lisa.stat.vt.edu/?q=short_courses.
