What's On This Page?
Student resources to complement DSS, organized by type:
CODE AND DATASETS USED IN DSS
All code and datasets used in the book are available in the DSS folder here.
SELF-GRADED REVIEW EXERCISES
Interactive R tutorials for students to check their understanding of the material on their own after completing the readings and performing the analyses explained in the book — they are meant to supplement, not replace, the book. Each includes multiple-choice questions and hands-on coding exercises with instant feedback. At the end, students can generate a progress report of their work. Eventually, there will be a tutorial for each chapter in the book. Check again soon! (To access them, run the code in the linked R script in RStudio. Watch the walkthrough video.)
