1 Hello R

In this first lecture you will get a gentle intro to R and the way it works as an objects-oriented stats programming language. The lecture is a bit abstract, like this line of code:

(I_am_an_object <- seq(from = 2, to = 8))
# [1] 2 3 4 5 6 7 8

But stay put, you’ll get the hang of it soon enough. You will also learn about the workflow of using RStudio, including how to set up a project and how to use R Scripts to organize your research and make it reproducible.
