Dear colleagues,
If you are R users struggling to get the most of it to do your Geometric Morphometric Analysis, or any other research topic, you can learn how to write and apply functions with Transmitting Science's course “Functional programming with R”. Dates and schedule: *Online live sessions* on *27th and 31st of May*; *15:00 to 19:00* (Madrid time zone). More information and registration: https://www.transmittingscience.com/courses/statistics-and-bioinformatics/functional-programming-with-r Course Overview: The growing availability of data and the versatility of analysis programs have led to an increase in the quantity and complexity of analyses conducted in ecology. This makes efficiency in *data management* and analysis increasingly necessary. One possible way to *optimise* these *processes* and *reduce working times* for R users is *functional programming*. Functions allow the automation of common tasks (such as reading different databases) in a more powerful and general way, simplifying the code. The objective of this course is to *learn how to write functions* and employ them in *iterative programming*, using both base R and the {purrr} package from {tidyverse}. Additionally, participants will learn a coding style that facilitates understanding for their future selves and their collaborators while minimising errors. Learning to write good functions and applying them to our data is a dynamic process, and new techniques and better ways to address old problems can always be learned. Programme: *· **Introduction* *· **Theory of functions in R* *· **How to write functions. Arguments and return values.* *· **Bases of imperative programming* *· **Iterations over one argument* *· **Iterations over multiple arguments* *· **Iterations without output* *· **Function operators* *· **Other functionals* Best regards, Sole -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Morphmet" group.
