I've recently started my new RA position, and I've been given the task of analyzing a root data file. I'm not completely lost, but I don't exactly know what I'm doing. The point of my post is not to ask for answers, merely advice. A place I could go for info on data analytics. Pointers on how to figure out what I'm looking at. Papers, books, videos, whatever. Links would be appreciated. As I said, I'm not completely lost. Simply looking for a little outside help. Thanks!
