Prerequisites
Participants will attend the workshop from their own computer. A recent computer is required (< 2 years) working under Windows, Mac, or Linux, along with a high-speed internet connection (wire connection, not wifi). Each participant will receive an invitation to log on to the web site of the webinar. The webinar works with the Adobe Flash Player plugin in Internet Explorer or Firefox.
To provide the best sound quality, it is recommended to use a headset with headphones and a microphone.
Participants should download and install the most recent version of R 
before the day of the workshop. Also note that an 'intelligent' editor greatly enhances writing R code and interacting with R (i.e., sending commands). One such editor is RStudio which works on all platforms and can be downloaded freely.
