r notes

About This Website

This website is for the use of my students at YU.

I started to transfer all of the in class notes that we’ve been working on in the .R files to my personal website - yrosenthal.com. To get to the notes, navigate your browser to http://yrosenthal.com/rnotes.

The menu on the left lists the “chapters” in the “book”. Each “chapter” roughly correlates to one of the .R files that we were working on in class. When you click on a “chapter” from the left hand menu, you should see another menu appear on the right hand side of the screen. The menu on the right side contains links to sections in that chapter. It’s not perfect, but I’m working on improving the links.

One of the many nice things about this website is that the output of all R code is shown below the actual R code (see the website to see what I mean). The output is actually generated by R. Therefore, if there is a difference between my comments and the output shown below the code, then I must have made a typo in my comments. You can trust the results displayed below the code more than the #comments that I wrote.

FYI - I created this website by using “Quarto” which is the new version of what has for years been called “R Markdown”. Quarto simplifies the publishing this type of content online, or in a PDF, or an ebook, etc.
