====== Tutorials Tips and Trix ======

===== Introduction to Basic Statistics in R =====

In our experience there's a number of people that want to improve their statistical skills and expand the data visualization tools at their disposal. At the same time there's also a group of people that work with, sometimes advanced, statistics and visualizations on a daily basis who have a lot to teach. Here, we'd like to provide a quick introduction into learning statistics with R. Follow [[https://norment.github.io/IntroToBasicStatisticsInR/|this]] link to get to the page.

The tutorial relies on the ''normentR'' package, which can be installed from its [[https://github.com/norment/normentR|GitHub page]].

If there's any questions about the tutorial, R, or the package, please come by in B48!
