Hello aea365. My name is Carlen Erickson and I am a student learning the statistics program R! I want to share two resources I have found invaluable.
Rad Resource: R is a free statistical software package for conducting analyses of quantitative data. It is a free competitor to SAS or SPSS. R can be downloaded from its website here http://www.r-project.org/.
Hot Tip: Anthony Damico has posted 93 “twotorials” – two minute, primarily beginner, tutorials on different aspects of using R. Each is a short screencast with audio. You can find them here http://www.twotorials.com/
Hot Tip: R-Bloggers is a compilation of multiple blogs focusing on using R. It has something for everyone, from the beginner to the expert. They are online here http://www.r-bloggers.com/
Do you have questions, concerns, kudos, or content to extend this aea365 contribution? Please add them in the comments section for this post on the aea365 webpage so that we may enrich our community of practice. Would you like to submit an aea365 Tip? Please send a note of interest to aea365@eval.org. aea365 is sponsored by the American Evaluation Association and provides a Tip-a-Day by and for evaluators.
Fantastic – thanks for sharing this!
I love the idea of “twotorials” – the planet needs more of these! 🙂
