How Public Profit Set Up a Structure for Success
When we began working with Oakland-based Public Profit, they were switching from Excel and SPSS. The move to R came with some anxiety, but they developed some creative structures to ensure the transition was a success.
How Moving to R Enabled Reading Partners to Engage More Deeply with Their Data
Reading Partners was using spreadsheets for all of their data analysis work. The work could be tedious and laborious, and left them little time to think deeply about their results. Until they moved to R.
How R Has Streamlined OMNI Institute’s Workflow
Moving to R has helped the OMNI Institute dramatically improve the efficiency of their workflow, including automated data tracking and generating dozens of reports automatically.
How R Has Transformed the Work of the Michigan Fitness Foundation
The team at Michigan Fitness Foundation thought R could only be useful for stats. Since working with R for the Rest of Us, they've learned it can do much more.
David Keyes
Principal Trainer
I started R for the Rest of Us to help organizations embrace the power of R. Through custom training, I can work with your staff to make a seamless transition from whatever tools you’re using now to R.
There are a lot of great R coders out there, but only a few who really know how to teach. With a master’s degree in education and a decade of teaching experience (you’d be surprised how much overlap there is between teaching second graders to read and teaching new R users to code!), I structure custom training to ensure your team will develop the skills to do your current work, and to do things you never even imagined possible.
My teaching uses a spiralized approach, where we return to concepts learned early on and learn to take them further. For instance, in the training sessions we return to material covered early on in later sessions, adding onto it in ways that reinforces previous learning. (e.g. improving basic plots by adding annotations to them).
Yes, you can learn R for free. There are a plenty of free resources to get you started. But knowing where to start can be extremely challenging. I learned R this way, and I know that I wasted a lot of time going down paths that weren’t useful. Having experienced this pain myself, I can move your organization quickly to R mastery.
All custom training is designed around projects that your organization is working on. Working with your data makes learning easier because it allows your team to focus on learning R, not having to remember details about a new dataset. And it shows staff how this new tool can help them solve problems they already encounter in their work.
Testimonials
What Our Clients Say
Don't take it from us. Our clients say it best.
“At first, I thought R was only for stats-minded people and was outside of my wheelhouse as a person who deals more with data extraction, transformation and reporting. However, after going through the R for the Rest of Us courses and learning from David about the vast capabilities of R, I quickly discovered R IS EXACTLY for people like me! Its strength in creating efficient data processing and reporting workflows is beyond amazing, and David – with his deep knowledge and genuine desire to teach and build capacity – is the perfect R guide!
“Incorporating R into our workflow, and working with David Keyes at R for the Rest of Us has been a game-changer for OMNI!
“We have had a terrific experience with David! Our team had a range of prior experience with R and SPSS, and he was able to put together a series of learning experiences that helped us all to improve our practice. I was particularly impressed that he used data from our projects to re-create our regular analytic processes to tailor our trainings.
“You are magical. I am so grateful that we found you.
