  • More R Syntax: This expands on the syntax of R and shows you how to make comments and how to use the built in help function.
  • Data Frames: This goes through the basics of how to use data frames (basically spreadsheets) in R.
  • Loading Data into R. This shows you how you can take a data file from your computer and get it to Reed's R Server in order to be able to analyze it. To work along with this video, you will need to download this file
