Tutorial and Assignment 3 - Basic Statistics with R
In this tutorial you will learn to do basic descriptive and inferential statistics using the R package. This tutorial is independent from the other ones.
You should submit the completed assignment to us before 23:00 on Wednesday, October 12th (details below).
Files
Download and uncompress stats-assignments.zip in a directory of your choice. If you use RStudio, go to Menu -> New project... -> Create project from existing directory, and select your directory.
Assignment
Open part1-intro.R and follow the instructions. The instructions are within the file. Most of the R code is already provided, but you will be also asked to fill holes. Do this directly in the file. Do not forget to save regularly, R sometimes crashes. Then once done, proceed to Part2, then Part3, then Part4. Part5 is optional.
Submitting the Assignment
WHAT - You should submit a single ZIP file called "YOUR_LASTNAME-Assignment3.zip" via email. It should contain your entire stats assignment directory, in particular:
- The files part1-intro.R, part2-barcharts.R, part3-confidence.R, and part4-salesmen.R, modified by yourself, including your interpretations provided as code comments, when requested.
- Optionally, the file part5-optional.R.
- The data files you read it.
- Optionally, a separate text file (e.g., txt, doc or rtf) called README with additional explanations that can help us grade your assignment.
Part4-salesmen.R will be given more weight in the grading. Assignments done correctly but without optional content will be graded 8/10.
