Guidelines for Assignments

The report for the assignment should be in a single pdf file, emailed to s133@stat.berkeley.edu, at or before the due date and time. Your report must include:

All of the R code you used to solve each problem, along with relevant output. You can include this as part of the body of the report, or you can put all of the code in one section of the report. Do not include incorrect R code or error messages, unless they are related to some point you are raising in your discussion.

Any graphs that you used in answering the question. See the resources page for information on saving graphs from R in a form that can be incorporated into your report.
A written description of your conclusion for each question asked in the assignment.
