Webinar: Introduction to R for Social Scientists — Sage Campus // Replace title block colour with text shadow

Watch our free, one-hour webinar recording for an introduction to the wonderful world of R.

The rise of big data has given social scientists access to vast datasets. To fully realize this opportunity, many social scientists are changing the way they work and adopting the R programming language to allow for further exploration and analysis.

In this on-demand webinar, Dr. Maja Založnik, Research Fellow at the Oxford Institute of Population Ageing, introduces the wonderful world of R and the benefits of its statistical techniques and visualizations in social science research.

The webinar covers:

  • Why to use R and what it is exactly.

  • The R language – simplified.

  • The benefits of its statistical techniques and visualisations.

  • A demonstration of how to create a regression model using R.

This webinar is perfect for those who are curious about learning the R programming language, but want to know more about its benefits for social science research first.
