On Monday, May 22nd, from 10am - 2pm (lunch provided), join us in person in Frankfort, Kentucky for the next training session "Diving DeepeR into R" with co-trainers Dr. Amanda Ellis, Vice Chair for the Department of Biostatistics, Director of Graduate Studies of the Master of Science in Biostatistics (MSBST) program at CPH, and Nate Wilson, Quality Assurance Program Manager (Division of Public Health Protection and Safety) at the Kentucky Department for Public Health.
What is R?
R is an advanced language that performs various complex statistical computations and calculations. It is widely used by data scientists and leaders in multiple fields, including public health. R interprets the data in a graphical form, making it easy to interpret and understand.
In public health, we must continue to follow, analyze and interpret the data. In addition, it’s important to visualize the data in a digestible and understandable manner. This introductory R webinar will help you do just that.
Registration is OPEN until May 10th! Space is limited and priority registration will be given to state, regional, and local epidemiologists.
