This course is designed to be a supplementary review for any Psychology Research Methods class for undergraduate students. It is heavy on concept learning, with small lessons on how to code answers and how to manipulate data. Further lessons getting deeper into the tidyverse and ggplot packages will be added. Individuals who want to jump right into the more coding heavy classes should begin at T Tests or take the two ANOVA classes.
This course currently will teach individuals basic commands in the following libraries: plyr, dplyr, stats, psych, ggplot2.
This course is recommended to be run in RStudio. Please download R- https://www.r-project.org/ and RStudio - https://www.rstudio.com/ first.
This course requires you also install the swirl package. Once RStudio has loaded, type "install.packages("swirl") into the console.
Then, once it is installed, type "library(swirl)". To install this course, please run install_course("Psychology_Statistics"). You can also directly install from my github with install_course_github("krcarriere", "Psychology_Statistics").
