R is a widely used tool for data analyses in ecology. Part of its success is due to the active community and the wide array of add-on packages contributed by scientists from across disciplines, via the CRAN network. R packages are an excellent and standardize way to distribute code and data to a huge community, and a great tool to ensure reproducible research. The course guides through the process of building and R package starting from conceptualization to testing. The course consists of introductory demonstrations coupled with hands-on exercises on the different stages of package building, plus time to work on a small example.
During the course you will write a small data package based on your own data with guidance from the teachers.
Grades are pass/fail. Successful participants should participate in all course days and present a project on the last day. A certification will be issued for all participants.
