This one-day tutorial will introduce participants to the statistical programming language R, and to a set of tools known as the “tidyverse” that can be used to load, clean, explore, analyze, and visualize complex data. Examples will be drawn from software engineering datasets; participants must be comfortable programming, but do not need previous exposure to R.
