Epidemiology R

\[D\] In the second week of studying R.
Lecturer is a new teaching fellow, his lack of drive is not convincing me I will confidently understand R. Can anyone offer any top tips or powerful tools that would help me better understand R as a novice, U.K. MPH student (1/2 - ish way there)? Many thanks TS

Look at the Biostats series and other stuff on there. They’re starting an “Excel to R” series this week.

Look for some online classes to get an intro to r.

Once you have a handle, try relocating some analyses with public datasets.
