Announcements

  • Extra Task(-s): results added (see above file);
  • Midterm I: results added (see above file);
  • Midterm II: results added (see above file);
  • Exam: results added (see above file). Grades will be added in the system on Saturday, around 14:00.

Important! Download the following [.ipynb file]  file and make sure that everything works on your machine.

ERASMUS students, who want to use R + RStudio, can use RStudio and verify that everything works by downloading the [.Rmd] file and inputting their student code and pressing the “Knit” button in RStudio to generate a .html file.

Note: in the past, there were free DataCamp courses available (as introductions to R and Python programming languages). Unfortunately, as of around Q1 of 2019 this is no longer the case.

Consequently, the lecture notes are updated to include links to alternative freely available interactive courses for R (using `swirl` package) and Python (using PyCharm Edu) programming languages.
