DESCRIPTION:# Overview\nBeing able to reproduce your research results is a 
 cornerstone of good scientific practice\, not only at the level of the dat
 a generation\, but also during all steps of the statistical analysis.\n\nD
 uring this two-day workshop\, we will explore how to use the R statistical
  software and some of the associated packages in order to conduct a reprod
 ucible data analysis and to help you reuse your R code in subsequent proje
 cts. We will cover all steps of the data analysis\, starting from data cle
 aning and data management\, going through the statistical analysis itself\
 , and finishing with the communication of results. The content will includ
 e many tips and tricks to improve your day-to-day analysis work\, making t
 he process more efficient and robust.\n  \nIn particular\, we will explore
  "knitR" and "officeR"\, two R packages that allow the automated creation 
 of documents (Word\, Powerpoint\, PDF\, HTML\, ...) from within R\, thus r
 educing the manual steps in preparing reports or slides and increasing the
  reproducibility of the resulting documents. We will also discuss the use 
 of custom-made R packages.\n\n\n# Audience\nThis course is addressed to li
 fe scientists and bioinformaticians who already routinely use the R statis
 tical program\, and would like to improve their analysis process by knowin
 g more about R and using relevant packages.\n\n\n# Learning outcomes\nAt t
 he end of the course\, the participants are expected to be able to:\n* Use
  R efficiently in order to perform a reproducible data analysis\n* Organis
 e their data and analysis scripts in order to make their life easier and i
 mprove the reproducibility of their work\n* Avoid common traps when using 
 R\n* Directly generate reports and documents from R\n\n# Prerequisites\n##
 ## Knowledge / competencies\nParticipants should already have a basic know
 ledge of the R statistical software. Test your R skills with the [quiz her
 e\, before registering](https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdIyeuabd
 _ZOWXgI1MWHapmaOMu20L9ESkLDZiWnpmkpujyOg/viewform?usp=sf_link).\n\n\n#### 
 Technical\nAttendees should have a Wi-Fi enabled laptop\, with the followi
 ng software installed:\n* R version &gt\; = 4.2.\n* RStudio\, not older th
 an 2022.\n\n# Application\nThe registration fees for academics are **120 C
 HF** and **600 CHF** for for-profit companies.\n\nWhile participants are r
 egistered on a first come\, first served basis\, exceptions may be made to
  ensure diversity and equity\, which may increase the time before your reg
 istration is confirmed.\n\nYou will be informed by email of your registrat
 ion confirmation. Upon reception of the confirmation email\, participants 
 will be asked to confirm attendance by paying the fees within 5 days.\n\nA
 pplications will close on **02/03/2023** or as soon as the places will be 
 filled up. Deadline for free-of-charge cancellation is set to **09/03/2023
 **. Cancellation after this date will not be reimbursed. Please note that 
 participation in SIB courses is subject to our [general conditions](http:/

 sity of Lausanne\, [Amphipôle building](https://planete.unil.ch/plan/)\, 
 (Metro M1 line\, Sorge station).\n\nThe course will start at 9:00 and end 
 around 17:00. \n\nMore information will be provided to the registered part
 icipants in due time. \n\n#  Additional information\nCoordination: Patrici
 a Palagi\n\nWe will recommend 0.5 ECTS credits for this course (given a pa
 ssed exam at the end of the course).\n\nYou are welcome to register to the
  SIB courses mailing list to be informed of all future courses and worksho
 ps\, as well as all important deadlines using the form [here](https://list
 s.sib.swiss/mailman/listinfo/courses).\n\nPlease note that participation i
 n SIB courses is subject to our [general conditions](http://www.sib.swiss/
