Lecture 46 - Bhaveshh Shah

Bhavesh Shah, Victoria & Albert Museum

Overview

Analysing and presenting data to inform practical solutions is a challenge for any operational preventive conservator or scientist. Data science is a growing field and free data-driven tools such as R can be used to go from data to interactive reporting tools and new insights. This will be a brief, and hopefully gentle, introduction to how R can be used to analyse the types of data typically encountered for collections care.
