R December Open Data Lab – Data Action Lab

Today’s lab will start with a very short (~15 minute) review of available R programming environments for those who are entirely new to R.

The next part of the session will be a brief sightseeing tour of using R to do unsupervised learning. Here is the code for this part of the lab.

The rest of the lab (~1.5 hrs) will be devoted to moving people forward with their specific R goals, through guided self learning. For this last part, a laptop with R installed is a must.
