This repository holds all course materials for the fall 2019 offering of Statistics 243 at UC Berkeley.

You can view the syllabus here.

Note that the various tutorials referred to in the class materials (e.g., the UNIX and bash shell tutorials, the dynamic documents tutorial, the Git tutorial, the string processing tutorial, etc.), are available here.

If you're not yet familiar with Git, go to the upper right of this page and click on 'Clone or download' and then 'Download ZIP'.

The howtos directory has information on installing and/or getting access to the software you'll need for the course. In particular, in the second week of class you'll need to get access to the UNIX command line in some fashion. See https://github.com/berkeley-stat243/stat243-fall-2019/blob/master/howtos/accessingUnixCommandLine.md for some options on how to do this.

The file submitting-electronically.txt has information on setting up a Github repository for the class and submitting your assignments by committing your solution to Github. We will discuss this in section on Tuesday September 3.

We will use the course bCourses site for communication (announcements, questions, and discussion). If you're enrolled in the class you should be a member of the group and be able to access it. If you're auditing or not yet enrolled and would like access, make sure to fill out the survey above and I will add you.
