Moving Confidently from GraphPad Prism to R
Description:
Following the recent announcement that GraphPad Prism will now require subscriptions, the HAB will be offering a new series of hands-on workshops for non-coders. These workshops are designed to help researchers at all career levels (PIs included!) to carry out the analyses they would usually perform in GraphPad Prism in R, a powerful open-source alternative.
We will begin with an introductory module on R basics, followed by a series of topic-focused sessions, helping you to convert your existing Prism-based analyses into the R language. The programme will conclude with a “Bring Your Own Data” workshop, where participants can apply their newly acquired skills to their own datasets with support from our team. Each workshop runs for 3 hours (10:00-13:00) and are scheduled from February through June. Participants can choose to attend the full series (at a discount!) or select individual modules according to their needs. However, the Basic R module is a prerequisite unless you are already confident with the fundamentals, as we will not re-cover them in later sessions.
Session Date and Topics (all Tuesdays 10am-1pm):
- Module 1: Basics of R for Non-Coders – February 24
- Module 2: From GraphPad Prism to R: Data Wrangling and Basic Statistical Tests (cleaning and subsetting large datasets using tidyverse, t-tests, ANOVA, basic power analyses etc.) – March 24
- Module 3: From GraphPad Prism to R: Reproducibly Visualising Data in R (bar plots, density plots, time series, grouped plots, etc.) – April 21
- Module 4: From GraphPad Prism to R: Advanced Statistics (Linear and nonlinear regression models, Mixed-effects models, Logistic regression etc…) – May 19
- Module 5: From GraphPad Prism to R: Advanced Analyses (clustering, PCA, etc…) – June 16
- Module 6: From GraphPad Prism to R: Bring Your Own Data – June 30
Sessions 3-6 in will contain some material based on participant interest in particular scenarios, types of graphs etc. If you sign up for one or more of these sessions we will reach out ahead of time to get your input.
