R and R-Studio

R is a free open-source programming language that can be used for statistical analysis, data-simulation, graphing, and lots of other stuff. Another free program is R-studio, that provides a nice graphic interface for R. Download R first, then download R-studio. Both can run on PCs, Macs or Linux.

Additional R resources I use

  1. Introduction to R, vectors, data frames and matrices
  2. Stackoverflow
  3. A comprehensive online guide to using R
  4. Graphics guide, mostly ggplot2
  5. The dplyr package and pipes
  6. Cheatsheets for ggplot, dplyr, Shiny, etc.
  7. Data wrangling cheatsheet, dplyr and tidyr
