Homework 8 is due Friday
Hi all,In case you missed the in-class announcement, I wanted to point out that I have given you all an extra day for the homework . It says so on the document and on the assignment within stellar, but if you were in the "homeworks are due Thursday" mindset you may have missed this change. To be clear: it is due Friday, May 12 at 5:59. Sorry for any confusion.
Best,
Colin

R Packages for Tomorrow's Lecture
Hi all,Hope you're enjoying the weekend! I've posted the R code for tomorrow's lecture on the course site. If you'd like to follow along tomorrow, please install the packages "rgl" and "car" beforehand (I've included commands for this on the top of the R script). These packages will allow us to generate 3-D graphics.
See you tomorrow,
