Before you arrive
Do this before Monday 21 September
Before you start: the laptop you will bring to IISc. When you finish: your laptop runs R, and you have already written R code.
The 5 steps
| Step | Go here | |
|---|---|---|
| ☐ | 1. Install R and RStudio | Step 1 |
| ☐ | 2. Install the packages | Step 2 |
| ☐ | 3. R primers | Step 3 |
| ☐ | 4. Epidemiology primers | Step 4 |
| ☐ | 5. Additional resources | Step 5 |
Do Step 1 first. It is the one step we cannot fix for you on Monday morning.
Short of time?
Do Steps 1 and 2. Without them you cannot do the hands-on work.
Then do Step 4. The epidemiology primers are short.
Steps 3 and 5 can wait. We re-teach the R basics in the room.
Open the primers at home
The primers run R inside your web browser. The first page downloads about 17 MB. The heaviest page downloads about 37 MB. Your browser keeps the download for 7 days.
You should see: a page you opened at home this week opens in a few seconds at IISc.
If it does not work: open them before you travel. The venue wifi cannot serve 40 people downloading 37 MB at once.
5 days is a short time. If your laptop is not ready on Monday, you will spend the first session watching downloads.
The primers teach the R and the arithmetic that the hands-on blocks assume you already have.
