Labs

In the first few labs, we will explore R a bit. Download `An Introduction to R' from here and open it.

This is a useful introduction to R, albeit a bit long. To get you on your feet, I recommend having a read, in order, of:

• Sections 1.1, 1.5, 1.7, and 1.11;
• Section 2;
• Section 5; and
• Section 7.

As you read, try and play around with the software, to get a feel for it. Feel free to also browse through the contents of the document and read anything you think might be relevant, useful, or just plain interesting. Sections 8.1, 9, and 12.1-12.2 might be worth playing around a bit with, while section 11 is relevant to the course, but probably a bit advanced at this stage.
