dime-r-training's Introduction

R for Stata users

Background

This material was developed by the DIME Analytics team as an introduction to R Statistical Package for its staff.

Course description

R is a programming language for statistical analysis and data science. It is a powerful and flexible tool widely used among statisticians and data scientists, and has a growing user base in economics research. This course is designed to familiarize participants with the language, focusing on common tasks and analysis in development research, and showing how to use R through RStudio, a popular integrated development environment for R. The course will build upon comparisons to Stata syntax and requires familiarity with the use of do-files, loops and macros. It also assumes some degree of familiarity with DIME's coding practices. All sessions are designed to last 90 minutes.
