Important resources to use if you do not know how to proceed/need help:
- Cheat sheets on different packages like tidyverse, ggplot, etc.
- Stackoverflow: A community of nerds at your disposal. All beginners questions have been already posted so a simple search is enough!
- help function in R (put cursor on function name and press F1 or type ?function_name)
- at the end of each help text there is a so called vignette that will give an executable example so that you can experiment with the function and its outputs
- Please refrain from using AI for now. We will discuss the efficient use of AI in the last session.
