2. I worked through two text books: @ProfAndyField's R book https://uk.sagepub.com/en-gb/eur/discovering-statistics-using-r/book236067 … and the FREE @LSRbook PDF http://compcogscisydney.org/learning-statistics-with-r/ … I still refer to these books when doing analysis
3. LOTS of googling and trial + error. You can do all the courses in the world, but there's nothing like working with your own dataset. A bit of warning though, this will *occasionally* happen https://xkcd.com/979/ BUT there's usually more than 1 way to do something in Rpic.twitter.com/olVRNQvUCT
4. To learn plotting in #Rstats, I image search plots by googling "name of plot R" and then following the link for the nicest looking plot to the R scriptpic.twitter.com/pdtR4QIkN3
If you’re STILL hesitant to make the switch, from SPSS to #Rstats just check out these usage trends for statistical software http://r4stats.com/articles/popularity/ … Your department might be the last one teaching SPSS, but that doesn’t mean you have to be the last person using itpic.twitter.com/QxjKTPLDQg
Nice that SPSS it is plummeting but odd that R is not displacing it. Presumably "R" isn't a very good search term?

I like R myself but I think the problem is that most people really don’t like command line interfaces. R has a bit of an accessibility problem, basically.
That would not just be R but all programming languages. Sadly, it's just how it has to be. One point though that I would like to underline is that accessibility has many guises. Most CLI are 100% accessible if by accessible we mean can easily be read by a screen reader.
Yeah, I’d say the same of Python and Matlab tbh (Matlab having the added problem of being ludicrously expensive). When I mention accessibility there I’m thinking more of the (perceived?) barrier to entry. Annecdotal but I know a lot of engineering postgrads who won’t touch a CLI.
Mostly because it’s “programming” to them and programming is a scary thing they did one module on in first year and avoid like the plague.
That's depressing. Thank fuck (some of us?) do programming in high school to avoid such problems.
