CGR vs. R Studio | Code Grand Rounds
 

CGR != R Studio


I wanted to make one small note about the usage of CGR as it pertains to course content and using R in practice. When you are writing R scripts for research/ p-sets, you won't be able to use CGR to develop your scripts. Instead, you will have to download R and R studio onto your personal computer. Here are some good instructions to do so --> https://posit.co/download/rstudio-desktop/


The R lessons (and all lessons) on CGR are intended to teach you syntax and best practices for doing computational experiments. As such, the primary use case for CGR in BME 530 (and in general) is to use the lessons to learn the syntax/ structure of R or the high level concepts of a specific algorithm/ statistical idea. After this learning phase (and certificate earning phase...) you can then implement things on R Studio or wherever else.


Small note, but just wanted to make sure it was mentioned for clarity! Happy learning!
