R Instructor 4+

R is a free statistical, visualisation and data manipulation software. Anyone who works with data can benefit from using R but it is hard to learn.

Created by scientist and educator Dr Shidan Murphy, R Instructor is a statistical and R reference guide. The application uses plain, non-technical language and over 35 succinct videos to guide new users and reinforce concepts for advanced R users. 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.

R Instructor also allows you to run RStudio through the web from your iPad or iPhone (Note: This is a public server that requires an internet connection -- do not expect to accomplish serious computing)

In addition, R Instructor comes complete with 10 Quick Reference guides and the "Which Test?" feature. The "Which Test?" feature guides you to the correct statistical test after you answer questions related to your data.
