Read chapter 1 of “Applied Linear Statistical Models”. It doesn’t matter if you have the 4th or 5th edition, the first 14 chapters should be the same.
We will not cover everything in chapter 1 in the first week so it is okay if you don’t get all the way through it.
We will be using R which can be downloaded here. Additionally, it is also advised to use RStudio which can be downloaded here, but any IDE will work.
