I've completed my Basic Statistics course, and am pleased overall with the experience. In addition to earning a grade of 105.82% (smart-ass comment from wife: "How is that even statistically possible?"), I feel as if I have a comprehensive understanding of not only the procedures and formulas of basic statistics, but also know where the theory and numbers come from.
One contribution to my knowledge of the material was the fact that I tried to work all the problems and homework in the course in R, even though the course itself never mentioned it or used it. It was still helpful to me to be able to translate the examples and problems from the textbook into R, and strengthened both my knowledge of statistics and R. Instead of just storing my work away, I've created a GihHub repository of the work that I did that was directly related to the textbook I used, _Statistics: Unlocking the Power of Data_ by Lock, Lock, Lock, Lock and Lock, third edition. I created an Rmarkdown file for each chapter's examples and the problems at the end of each chapter. I also processed each .Rmd file into a PDF file. I've uploaded these to https://github.com/kzembower/Lock5ProblemsExamples_R. They're available for any use anyone would like to make of them. I also created some 1-2 sheet quick references of things I found helpful. I'm pretty certain that these do not represent the best R coding, and may even have some significant flaws. I checked the final answers against those given in the book for almost all the problems. Let me know if you think this repository could be improved in any way. Thank you to all the folks who helped me better understand statistics and how to compute them with R. -Kevin ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list -- To UNSUBSCRIBE and more, see https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide https://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
