Section 2.1 Student Learning Objectives
In this chapter we deal with issues associated with the data that is obtained from a sample. The variability associated with this data is emphasized and critical thinking about validity of the data encouraged. A method for the introduction of data from an external source into
R is proposed and the data types used by R for storage are described. By the end of this chapter, the student should be able to:
-
Recognize potential difficulties with sampled data.
-
Import data into
R. -
Organize your work in
R-scripts. -
Create and interpret frequency tables.
