CITS4009 Introduction to Data Science - Lab Sheets

You can install and use additional packages in R Studio by following these instructions:

Additional packages for R can be installed by students to either the default location on the computer or to a location of their choosing. As discussed my recommendation is to have students use a thumb drive with a .RProfile file. In the file it specifies where the libpath points to. They can point the libpath location to the /volumes/thumbdrive and then the students just need to copy the .RProfile file to their local home area each time they go to a new computer in the lab.

  Note: There was a mistake in the previous version of this lab and it is corrected now. Please see this thread in help4009. Note: As I have started discussing models last week, this lab will run for two weeks. The project will be released after that.

Some notes on the labs:

• The labs are not substitutes for the lectures. You cannot complete half of the unit just by doing the labs. The labs and the lectures will be complementary.
