About me
Dr. Yi Zou (邹怡) is an Associate Professor in the Department of Health and Environmental Sciences at XJTLU. He is an ecologist and entomologist studying conservation biology, landscape ecology and ecosystem services in agricultural and forest ecosystems. He is particularly interested in how changing landscapes affect arthropod diversity, pollination and biological pest control services. His research interests also include how to effectively measure biodiversity at different dimensions by model simulation and empirical studies. Yi is an associate editor of Journal of Applied Ecology.

Title: Data analysis with R language - an introduction
By: Yi Zou
Introduction:
R is the most popular language in Data Science that has been widely used in industry, business and scientific researches. This workshop will provide a general introduction of R language. After the workshop, you will learn how to run R, how do some basic analysis, and how to write your own function. We hope you will start and enjoy your data analysis journey.
Outline
- Introduction, reading data, basic mathematics and statistics
- Write your own function
- Practice
Preparation
- download and install R
- download and install RStudio
- download the practice dataset Register_Dat.csv and Register_Dat.txt
