      1. I took a few #Rstats courses at @DataCamp. There are TONS of different courses at various levels that can help you get started.pic.twitter.com/c0M5wWlPHb

      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

      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? #DeathtoSPSS

      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.

      And to be honest including visually impaired people is really important. MATLAB on the other hand is 100% very much not able to be screen read IIRC, and the same goes for SPSS. Sad really that those are the norm in my field.

      I really need to move away from Matlab and do more in R. It’s just the prospect of rewriting years worth of little scripts and functions I use every day that puts me off tbh.

      Were you doing your stats in Matlab?

          It’s what I learned on in undergrad and I never got out of the habit.

          Mostly used it stats modelling, undergrad was maths. It’s pretty handy for machine learning stuff if you avoid the built in toolboxes like the plague and download Netlab instead.

          Still not sure what kind of stats — like is there an equivalent of R's lme4 in Matlab?

          There are built in functions for GLMs and the like if that’s what you mean. I’m very much a novice with R so had to google what Ime4 even was tbh.

          Thanks for the info. I don't use R but it's pretty much the field standard for serious stats modelling of that type in Psych/CogNeuro/etc.. Python is pretty much the standard for other types, esp more ML stuff, in my area (CompCog). Altho many use Matlab, Lisp, C, etc.

          My experience is that there’s nothing you can do in Matlab that you can’t do in R or Python and vice versa. Comes down to preferences and resources (Matlab isn’t cheap).
