Online Workshop in Vietnam on February 22-23, 2022

Statistical Analysis with “R” in Vietnam

On February 22 and 23, 2022, the workshop on "Statistical Analysis with “R” in Vietnam" was held online using Zoom meeting platform due to the COVID-19 outbreak. This workshop was co-sponsored and organized by Risk Analysis Research Center, ISM, and Institute of Forest Inventory and Planning Institute (FIPI), Vietnam. With the aim of building capacity for forest resource management in Vietnam, this workshop was designed to enable participants to use statistical software, "R", and to conduct a hands-on approach to dealing with various statistical analyses on data. The participants learned about basics of the “R” software using their own computers. On the first day, the participants learned about the basic commands for statistical analysis, data handling and graphics in “R”. On the second day, after the participants went through the remaining topics of graphics and multivariate visualization in “R”, they are given a brief introduction to basic statistics and linear regression models. Although, there was a gap in proficiency among the participant, they were able to help each other by sharing their ideas and commands through a chat tool. All participants expressed interest looking forward to a similar event next year. The workshop ended successfully with a total of 20 participants. It was run mainly by Dr. Nguyen Hung Dinh and Mr. Vu Quang Hien from FIPI, Vietnam.
