Learn R-Studio from a Working Knowledge of Excel and Up Your Analytics Game

don-E Merson, Sr. Program Analyst-Principal, Student Financial Aid

Description

Excel is a powerful program that has many users. While Excel is powerful, there are some statistical and predictive abilities that are very difficult to perform.

R-Studio is a free Integrated Development Environment (IDE) that uses the R language with a large community of users and bloggers. However, a lot of business users don't look to R-Studio because learning the language is usually accompanied by statistical terms that scare off the average would-be R guru.

In this presentation, don-E will show how you can quickly become a power user of R. He will show how easy it is to move back and forth between Excel and R-Studio so you can use each program’s strengths and automate your workflow. After finishing this presentation, the user will be able to create an interactive web application from R that users can access for free over the internet.

Who Should Come

Business Analysts and others who use Excel regularly but need more complex analysis and graphical capabilities.
