R configuration and environment
Learn how to set up your work environment with R. From installing R and RStudio to managing critical packages, make sure you have all the resources you need for a smooth transition.
R syntax and structure
Understanding the syntax of R is crucial. We will break down the differences and similarities between SAS and R, and explore how to translate familiar SAS data structures and scripts into R.
Data analysis with R
SAS procedures are powerful, but R also offers a robust suite of tools for data analysis. Learn how to use packages such as dplyr and tidyr to perform analyses that were previously performed with SAS.
Visualization with R
Visualization is an essential part of any data analysis. Learn how to use ggplot2 and other tools to not only reproduce, but potentially improve the visualizations you’ve created with SAS.
Best practices and troubleshooting
Every transition presents challenges. We will cover common mistakes when migrating from SAS to R, how to avoid them and best practices to ensure a smooth transition.
