About us
We are two learners and teachers of R who are very passionate about encouraging and supporting others to use R for their statistical analysis! We have created R Module to make learning and using R a positive, confidence-building and enjoyable journey for everyone, with no expectation of statistical or computational backgrounds. Our hope is that this website and set of resources will help encourage others to embrace R and be empowered to become a member of the R community.
