R-Instat Tutorials

To help you become familiar with R-Instat before you arrive in Riga we have created a set of introductory tutorials for you to try out.

Even if you were not able to download R-Instat, these documents are still useful reading as there are many screen shots and explanations of R-Instat's functionality.

There are three tutorial documents below. Part 1 is focused on producing graphs. Part 2 introduces a set of daily climatic data and shows some of the steps to prepare it for analysis. Part 3 is optional and less important for this workshop. It describes analyses of a survey data set. Only do this part of the tutorial if it interests you.

R-Instat is a general statistics package, with an added special menu for climatic analyses. These tutorials are on the general use of the software, which will prepare you to then use more of the specific climatic facilities when we meet in Riga.

You can either download PDF versions of the tutorials or view them online.
