Meetup description

Why would you use R over Excel?


R and Excel are beneficial in different ways. Excel starts off easier to learn and is frequently cited as the go-to program for reporting, thanks to its speed and efficiency. R is designed to handle larger data sets, to be reproducible, and to create more detailed visualizations.

The meetup was awareness session for Yanina Belline Saibene and Pao Corrales Research Software Camp:Beyond the Spreadsheet workshop. This course is intended for people who use spreadsheets for data manipulation and analysis but would like to learn how to work with R and have never programmed.

Our speaker Yanina Bellini Saibene is part of the R-Ladies Global team, is part of R-Ladies Santa Rosa chapter in La Pampa, Argentina and is the founder of LatinR_conf, Latin American Conference on the Use of R in Research + Development. She is also part of the Research team in the National Institute of Agricultural Technology (INTA)
