[4eyes] R on Lynda.com

[Panuakdet Suwannatat]

Dear 4-Eyes,

I discussed with John O'Donovan about the usefulness of R, and my attempt
trying to learn it. We think it might be useful to share with the lab some
of the links below.

As John mentioned before, there are a lot of YouTube videos teaching you
how to do anything in R. I would like to add that there is also an online
course on Lynda.com where you can access for free (and without ads). UCSB
has already paid for the subscription for us!

Here's how:

Log in to Lynda here using your UCSB net ID
https://it.ucsb.edu/services/lynda

And this is the tutorial I found:
Up and Running with R with Barton Poulson
http://www.lynda.com/R-tutorials/Up-Running-R/120612-2.html?srchtrk=index:1%0Alinktypeid:2%0Aq:r%0Apage:1%0As:relevance%0Asa:true%0Aproducttypeid:2

Every video is transcribed. So you can search for what you want to learn
(e.g. I searched for "scatterplot matrix" on Google and I found this
tutorial.) You can also watch it at 150%, or 200% if you are a fast
learner. It's a nice way to get something done without having to spend time
on the whole course, or to search for the right video on YouTube (I ran
into some bad ones, with ads.)

Besides R, there are other courses, too ... apparently including one on
"Santa Barbara Film Festival".
