Week 4 Info: Exploratory Data Analysis

Click here for info on Week 4

Week 4 has now begun. During this week we will learn about a technique called exploratory data analysis (EDA). EDA is a methodology applied at the beginning of a statistical analysis to find errors in the data, to discover patterns, and to explore hypotheses. EDA uses visualizations as one of its primary tools, and we will also deepen our knowledge of how to make visualizations in ggplot.

You will have a lab assignment titled Exploratory Data Analysis due next Sunday at midnight.
