Biostats books
Working in R
Learn how to import, manipulate and visualise data with our working in R book.
After an introduction to R, this book has a tidyverse flavour, showing how to manipulate data with
dplyr
and make publishable plots with ggplot2
.
It includes lots of exercises to hone your skills.
Reproducible documents with R
Learn how to write reproducible documents (anything from a course assignment to a thesis or manuscript) in quarto: no more copy-paste nightmares. Quarto is the successor to R markdown (our earlier R markdown book is here). All the biostats books were written in R markdown or quarto; you can see the source code in our repo on GitHub.
Git and GitHub
Learn how to use version control with our step-by-step guide to setting up and using git and GitHub in RStudio.
Writing an R package
Want to make your code into an R package?
Our guide to writing an R package will show you how.
Biostats apps and tutorials
We have developed interactive learnr
tutorials for
- naming objects
- dates and times
- string manipulation
and shiny apps to explore some statistical concepts.
These can be installed from biostats apps and learnr
tutorials with
# install remotes if you don't have it already
# install.packages("remotes")
remotes::install_github("biostats-r/biostats.tutorials")
