R-Walk-in

On Thursday from 3pm to 4pm researchers at the FPPW can "walk in" with R & Rstudio related questions. This either via Teams (meeting link) or on campus (directions)


Typical issues are

  • I keep getting the same error message
  • My script is not working anymore
  • I do not understand the error message

For statistical questions or for support regarding interpretation and execution of statistical analyses within R, FPPW researchers can make an appointment via stat.pp@ugent.be
