Any recommendations for tutorials for switching from matlab to R? Focus on transfer, not start from scratch. @robustgar @o_guest

Maybe
@chbergma@samhforbes @kopshtik know some good books / websites that are appropriate for the transition. What do you use Matlab for? -
Good Q, there was a python for matlab users thing back in the day, might be worthwhile doing the same for R. But use is v important for recs

Ah
@duckduckgo, praise your eternal wisdom, results for a quick search "R for matlab users" http://mathesaurus.sourceforge.net/octave-r.html https://cran.r-project.org/doc/contrib/Hiebeler-matlabR.pdf … -
And I strongly recommend using
@rstudio, lots of support, searchable help, environment visible, create projects and markdown docs... -
Plus it looks a bit like matlab GUI
-
(OK, last tweet, promise) And I couldn't do R without cheatsheets! https://www.rstudio.com/resources/cheatsheets/ …
-
Tzzz, how could I not mention
@RLadiesLondon? Very supportive environment, maybe they also have resources to move from matlab to R? -
Reinforcing what
@EikoFried said too, the "toughest" concept in R is probably split apply combine. Which took me like an hour or so to get. - 8 more replies

What do you want to do in
#stats? What usage & types of models? Most tutorials and books have topics. For basic intro there is no market > -
> specifically for Matlab users bc it's very simple and you'll speak R in a few if you know matlab

To begin w/ all basic stats on behavioural and EEG data (rmANOVAs,t-tests, permutation analyses, easy stuff) so that I can show students >1

Later SVMs, and the like.
