Using R and Longitudinal Data System (LDS) Records to Answer Policy Questions
R is a powerful open source data analysis platform that can be used to analyze, visualize, and
statistically model data using best available methods. Examples of real-world policy questions
answered using R are presented, as well as a demonstration of reproducible code to replicate
these analyses using data from other state education agencies (SEAs) and local education agencies
(LEAs).
