The IEP Data Science Project Work Team

A statistical help group for people who love fish, wildlife, and command-line code.

Also useful for people who hate statistics, coding, and math, but need to learn how to use it. We will convert you! Post your question to our list and one of your fellow scientists may be able to offer advice.This group is intended to be a collaborative learning experience for all members. We will meet quarterly for half-day workshops that cover a variety of topics, including statistics, R, Open data practices, Python, data management, data cleaning, and anything else we want. Each meeting will have at least one presentation geared for beginners

No question is too small. Many help lists can be daunting because they expect a level of knowledge of R or computer programming that not all users have, and the various R manuals and documentation can be difficult to navigate. While the general principles of the R-help list apply (http://www.r-project.org/posting-guide.html), we aim to be friendlier and more helpful for beginning and intermediate users. Small bugs and questions about where to find documentation are welcome.
