CS109L: Statistical Programming with R Laboratory

Assignment 2 has been posted under Assignments and is due June 3 at midnight. You should know everything necessary to complete the assignment after tomorrow's lecture, though all material for the remainder of the course can be used in the second (open-ended) part of the assignment. I encourage you to wait a couple weeks to complete that part of the assignment so you have more exciting things to do for your data analysis. :)

There will only be two assignments given this quarter, rather than the usual three. You must still complete both assignments to get credit for the course. You may use any remaining late days you have on the second assignment, which will be made available in two weeks.

Next week (5/8) we will be doing a tutorial-style section in class. Please remember to bring your computer with R installed. Thanks!

An interesting lecture on why, and how, people use R. "R is a strange, deeply flawed language that nevertheless has an enthusiastic and rapidly growing user base. What about R accounts for its popularity in its niche? What can language designers learn from R's success?" You can also checkout a discussion of the lecture.

Please follow these instructions to submit your assignments: Create a .zip file containing your R source code as well as a README with the following format:

Name: John Rothfels (rothfels)
Comments: <any comments you have>

Name the .zip file "assignment#.zip" and email it to me as an attachment, with the subject line "CS109L Assignment # Submission" (# replaced with 1, 2, or 3).

For the rest of the quarter, class will only meet on Tuesday.

Assignment 1 has been posted under Assignments and is due next Friday at midnight. Have fun!

Our first class will meet Tuesday, April 3rd at 11:00am in Herrin T175. See you there!
