R Instructor

R is a free statistical, graphing and data manipulation software. Anyone who works with data can benefit from learning R, unfortunately it is very hard to learn.

Created by Dr. Shidan Murphy, an award-winning scientist and educator, R Instructor allows you to run RStudio through a public web server from your phone or tablet (Internet connection required -- do not expect a super computer -- this server is for experimenting with your scripts) and teaches R using plain, non-technical language and over 30 videos. The number and scope of the videos and content will continue to increase.

R Instructor will teach you how to use R, how to make and modify plots and run statistical tests. Each example includes a very brief (and easy to understand!) description of the function or test, any statistical assumptions, how to structure your data in R, the R scripts (code) and, links to other free and online resources.

Where appropriate, the Mac, Windows and RStudio versions of the R interface are explained separately.

** As an added bonus – If you don't know the statistical test you need, use the included "Which test?" feature! Just answer the questions about your data. **

Use R Instructor to:

-Run a server-based implementation of RStudio from your mobile device. This is a shared server, and does not appear to work with the Galaxy Note series of devices.

*** Note, to view the videos you must be running the Gingerbread (v2.3) or a later operating system. On Android devices running much older operating systems (generally v2.1 and older) a slightly different build of R Instructor but with the same text information may download. Very few devices now run 2.1. ***
