But, the dancers in the Major Lazer / Nicki Minaj video look cool checking their cellphones

Schedule (Tentative)

We will start the workshop by justifying the use of R and Rcmdr in business analytics. The following three sessions will cover details of the most important topics.

• Before downloading any of the datasets, you should create a folder (preferably under "My Documents") and give it a name similar to the dataset.
• Save your dataset to the folder you created.
• After starting Rcmdr, click "File > Change Working Directory..." and point at the folder you have created for that dataset.
• Any files you save from within Rcmdr will then appear in the folder you have created.

Why R and R Commander?

Session Topics. Installations, introduction to R and R Commander (Rcmdr) and R functions for basic statistical models
