1:15 p.m. Tutorial 3: Introduction to R – Elisa Lancini
This short tutorial will give an overview of the basis of the syntax, common functions and basic operations in R.
We will take the first steps together to discover the basics of R programming and get solid foundations for future learning.
The tutorial will be followed by a hands-on part where you can download the code shown during the tutorial and try to use it with your own data.2:15 p.m. Tutorial 4: Meta-Analysis in R – Elisa Lancini
During this tutorial you will be walked through the process of conducting a meta-analysis: from preparing the data in excel to the functions used in R to assess outliers and complete the effect-size calculation. The tutorial is based on analyses conducted for this publication:
