Training & Collaboration

Training Catalog

There are a number of Biomedical Data Science training opportunities that are available to the Yale community. All Yale credit courses can be found at https://courses.yale.edu/

A list of recommendations on the best places to learn R:

• The “swirl” package. You run it from RStudio directly like you would any other package with install.packages(“swirl”). The benefit here is you get tutorials on R directly from within RStudio. This is how I learned R and I found it to be incredibly helpful. Here is the package link: https://swirlstats.com/students.html
• Coursera course is good as well: https://www.coursera.org/learn/r-programming
• This article also has some good links to useful R-related books and websites (including ggplot2): https://towardsdatascience.com/the-ultimate-r-guide-for-data-science-7d4b6112822a
