Mt Hood Diabetes Challenge/SMDM Short Course on Decision Modeling in R

Material for 2023’s Mt Hood Diabetes Challenge/SMDM Short Course on Decision Modeling in R

In preparation for the workshop, participants should complete the following steps:

1. Download and install R (https://www.r-project.org/) and RStudio Desktop (https://www.rstudio.com/products/rstudio/) if you do not already have them installed on your computer. Both of these resources are free.
2. Download this repository as a .zip file and unzip it to a working directory (where they will complete the workshop exercises).
3. Open the folders and double-click the RStudio projects “*.Rproj”. This should open an Rstudio window with the working directory set to the participant materials folder.
4. For the calibration material open the R script “00_prep.R” and run the script. This script installs the R packages necessary for the workshop. IMPORTANT: If you encounter errors when running the “00_prep.R” script, please attempt to resolve them based on the error messages provided (e.g. by installing or updating packages, checking permissions in the folder they are working in, updating their version of R or Rstudio, etc.). There will be a limited amount of time to resolve R software issues during the workshop.
