Remarks

Students are strongly recommended to have access to an up to date PC or Mac in order to use the required software. The textbook listed in the material section is required; however, students do not have to purchase it because it is available electronically through the Penn State library.

Software:
R involves programming. Students should already feel comfortable using some type of statistical software and be a quick learner of software packages. Students who have no experience with programming or are anxious about being able to manipulate software code are strongly encouraged to take the one-credit course in R in order to establish this foundation before taking STAT 510.

R will be supported and sample programs will be supplied but you will be required to do some programming on your own. Due to different software applications, software versions and platforms there may be issues with running code. Students must be proactive in seeking advice and help from appropriate sources including documentation resources, other students, the teaching assistant, instructor or HelpDesk.
