Michael Levy on Automation, lapply, and Custom Functions in R

Our fearless co-coordinator Michael Levy gave a presentation on automation, the apply family, and writing custom functions in R. From Michael:

Access the power of R through the apply-family of functions and by writing your own functions. You’ll save time, headaches, and mistakes. This is an “advanced-beginner” talk intended to get people started or more comfortable with automation. If you find yourself copy-and-pasting R code, this is for you! If you have multiple data files to process, this is for you! If you want to become an R wizard but aren’t sure what the next steps are, this is for you!

Here’s the video! The R script he uses can be found here.
