@boinkofscience.bsky.social3. R is open source and it's free; R is highly extensible The cool thing is that R has 'packages', or little, pre-programmed nuggets of code that you can download and use on R. Anyone can make these; good ones get well-known; it can allow you to do some very complex stuff with simple commands.
Show PostWe're getting started on Section 3 today. If you haven't done programming before, I promise you'll be okay. Programming is like learning any language. It has syntax and verb-subject-object order-like structures, and there is often more than one way to say a thing. You can do it! #SundayStats
Show PostI would still call myself a beginner, but I agree. I did learn the basics of Python as well, but I found R handier for stats... so far.
Show PostAs I suspected, we're downloading RStudio. RStudio-- and Positron-- are what we call 'programming environments'. Sometimes people call them ✨IDEs✨ or integrated development environments. You can work directly from R, but a lot of people prefer RStudio or another IDE. DL here: posit.co/downloads/
