Moore and McCabe data sets for R 2008-Jan-23 

logo

The data sets for the homework are on the web page as one big file. To read them into your R session use:

source("http://www.math.csi.cuny.edu/verzani/classes/MTH214/mm.R")
Then you can access the files through pmg (they load into the variable mm) or you may access them from the command line. For the latter, you might want to attach a chapter, as in
attach(mm)
attach(Ch01) # say
names(Ch01)  # lists all variable names 
ta01_007     # show data in table 7 from chapter 01
The source of these data sets is whfreema.com

Using Excel for statistics 2008-Jan-22

In class I've been mentioning that one can use a spreadsheet to do most of the homework problems etc, but have said excel is known to have issues. In this article are several references to such: Excel issues. There is also an interesting point about excel incorrectly computing 850*77.1 (which is just shy of 2 to the 16th.)

THat's right, I asked you about time plots which we are going to skip, as we don't come back during the term to that concept.
