This OLE gives students a simple, transferable approach to the exploration of multivariate data in everyday life using simple coding in R. You will investigate the relationship between variables in spreadsheet like data, learning what questions to ask, what techniques to use, and what mistakes to avoid. Focused on concepts, not formulae, the OLE is accessible for students from any discipline. You will focus on studies, including: How does the Australian public respond to shark bites? Is mobile phone usage related to higher incidence of brain tumors?
