Sasha Coelho gives us a seminar on Base R and Tidyverse

Within the framework of an Erasmus+ staff mobility exchange, last Thursday 29th of May 2025, Sasha Coelho, from Technische Universität Chemnitz, came to Zaragoza and gave us a seminar on data analysis with R. Her research interests are connected with quantitative analysis and she delivered a talk entitled “Introduction to BaseR and Tidyverse”.

She started the hands-on session by presenting some key technical concepts and laying out conceptual foundations related to R, a programming language that is employed for statistical computing and graphics. Then, she walked us through the set-up of RStudio IDE, an integrated development environment, and explained the uses of the three sections in which this computer programme is divided. With her guidance and with the data frame that she provided, we learned the basics of RScript and ran some functions on RConsole.

It was a challenging but very stimulating practical session in which we were able to explore technological possibilities for enhancing quantitative analysis!
