"My First Experience with R   

  was the Intro to R class and bootcamp (BUAN 6356) and then I thought I could try my hand at larger datasets. 

  Unfortunately, I kept running into issues, crashes, importing problems, my computer nearly bursting into flames, memory crashes, and I would like to share with you my experiences so that you will not have to go through what I went through.

  Come with me on my journey of late nights, sadness, and energy-drink fueled googling to show you the things that I didn’t learn from my base R class."

​

​

"These are the topics I am going to cover:

• Importing data problems and useful global options

• Lessons I learned Crashing R and the 3 types of crashes

             - (a) Mini crash – It’s sluggish and I don’t know why

             - (b) Screen Crash – the screen is stuck and it won’t do anything

             - (c) White Screen Crash – nothing but Christmas

• Saving, Loading, Nuking your Environment because you…Ran Out of Memory

• Making sure your computer can take the heat

• Extra topics if we have time

              - (a) MRO vs BaseR and how to change between them

              - (b) Did you know there are two if statements in R?  If and Ifelse
