title: "About the VectorByte Training Materials 2026"
---

As the VectorByte team has developed [these materials](materials.qmd), we've aimed to provide resources for both guided (during the workshop) and self-led learning. We assume basic familiarity with:

-   Working with data in `R`
-   Introductory Statistics

We've divided the materials into subject matter modules or units. Each module typically consists of four kinds of materials:

-   slides with presentation of materials
-   labs/hands-on materials to allow you to practice material in a practical way
-   data sets to analyze
-   solutions to exercises, when necessary

We also include links to additional resources/materials/references.
