Preface

HitCount Star Fork Star

This is a work-in-progress course website for Introductory Statistics for Undergraduate Students, produced by Fan. Course covers a limited subset of topics from Statistics for Business and Economics (Anderson Sweeney Williams Camm Cochran 12e).

R is used. Packages from Tidyverse (Wickham 2019) are used, including tibble (Müller and Wickham 2019) for framing data, tidyr (Wickham and Henry 2019) and dplyr (Wickham, François, et al. 2019) for reshaping data and aggregating statistics, ggplot2 (Wickham, Chang, et al. 2019) for graphing, and readr (Wickham, Hester, and Francois 2018) for file reading and writing. Materials are presented as R, RMD, PDF and HTML files. To obtain all codes and raw files, see here for github set up. For HTML files, click on the links below.

From Fan’s other repositories: For dynamic borrowing and savings problems, see Dynamic Asset Repository; For code examples, see also R Example Code, Matlab Example Code, and Stata Example Code; For intro econ with Matlab, see Intro Mathematics for Economists. See here for all of Fan’s public repositories.

The site is built using Bookdown (Xie 2020).
