STA442/2101F: Applied Statistics I

Course description

Computing

You are welcome to use the statistical computing package of your choice, but I will refer exclusively to the R computing package. Statistics Dept graduate students can access R on the Statistics Dept computers; undergraduate students can access R on CQUEST. Alternatively, students can install R on the computer(s) of their choice, by downloading its "base" package (for free) from probability.ca/cran or www.r-project.org.
There are many helpful introductions to R, including:

Jeff Rosenthal's introduction for the course STA410/2102,
the documentation provided on the R project web site (especially the Introduction to R),
John Verzani's online book simpleR,
Radford Neal's notes for STA 410 has some demonstration of R data types and R programming
