A quick look at R and R Commander

Complete my ten R Practice assignments

How to do it

For these exercises, you may work

  • enter commands one line at a time at the R prompt
  • from a script document you create/save within the R GUI app
  • start R Commander and submit commands within script window

Choose one way, then stick with it. The quickest way to use R while you learn R is to just work within R Commander.

Part 02. Getting started with R and Rcmdr

I recommend also a look at A quick look at R and R Commander in Mike’s Biostatistics Book.

Note for BI311 — Homework: Quick look at R (CANVAS) asks you to work through “any one (or more) of the lessons”  (Part 03 – Part 08).
