Preliminary remarks
This is a web complement to MATH 341 (Linear Models), a first regression course for EPFL mathematicians.
We shall use the R programming language througout the course (as it is free and it is used in other statistics courses at EPFL). Visit the R-project website to download the program. The most popular graphical cross-platform front-end is RStudio Desktop.
R is an object-oriented interpreted language. It differs from usual programming languages in that it is designed for interactive analyses.
Since R is not a conventional programming language, my teaching approach will be learning-by-doing. The benefit of using Rmarkdown is that you see the output directly and you can also copy the code.
