This material was developed by the DIME Analytics team as an introduction to R Statistical Package for its staff. It builds upon knowledge of Stata to explore features of R with impact evaluation applications in mind. It also assumes some degree of familiarity with DIME's coding practices.
The development branch version is being adopted in DIME's R training in November and December 2018. As the training is on going, the content is being updated in real time as each presentation has a final version.
Other presentations were adopted in DIME's Field Coordinator Training in June 18.
