COMPASS Workshops
Computing for Data Analysis in the Social Sciences
Computing for Data Analysis in the Social Sciences
The COMPASS Workshops are a series of free, open-source statistical programming and data science workshops held weekly during the academic year at Princeton University. Supported by the Department of Sociology, Department of Politics, and the Office of the President, the workshops focus on using R with RStudio in a variety of real-world applications relevant to social scientists. Topics covered include data wrangling, data visualization, Monte Carlo simulations, linear regression, data wrangling, and text mining.
