Application of R Software for Statistical and Econometric Analysis

From July 24 to 26, 2019, the "International conference of 50 years Indonesian Society of Agricultural Economics (PERHEPI)" was held at Bogor Agricultural University (IPB), IPB International Convention Center, Bogor, Indonesia. The workshop, "Application of R Software for Statistical and Econometric Analysis", held on 24th of July was organized as a pre-conference workshop. This workshop was made possible by the efforts of Prof. Arfin from University of Lampung in Sumatra, who was a member of organizing committee of the International conference mentioned above. Like our previous workshops, 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. Although there were some participants who joined the previous workshop, the majority of the participants were first-time participants. Therefore, the workshop lectures covered the basic topics such as data handling and graphics in R and linear and nonlinear regression based on growth functions. At the end of workshop, lectures on time series analysis such as AR model and ARIMA model were given in response to requests from the participants. The first-time participants also recognized the importance of utilizing the R software on a daily basis and familiarization with R. The workshop ended successfully with a total of 70 participants. The workshop was run mainly by Prof. Bustanul Arifin and others at Agribusiness, University of Lampung.
