Stat 254: Computing

• As a language and environment for statistical computing and graphics we encourage you to use R.
• R is available as free software from the following site:
  The Comprehensive R Archive Network
• A Macintosh version of R is installed in the Instructional Computing Lab of the Statistics Department located in Boelter Hall 9413. The e-mail to contact the lab curator is BH9413@stat.ucla.edu. The lab is typically open MWF from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. For more precise information, please consult the Statistics Instructional Computing Lab web-page.
  To use the lab, you need an account. Any student enrolled in the class can get an account. If you have just enrolled in the class, the list may not have been updated. In such case, you will need to see one of the lab administrators that will kindly give you an account (their office is close to the lab: BH 9407)
  Here is brief memo on how to use R on Linux\Unix.
• Here is a script that you can follow for your first session in R: session.S
• Here is the script of the session for R we did in class Rconsole.txt
• If you are planning to run R on a Unix/Linux machine, and you use Emacs as an editor, you may be interested in the package Emacs Speaks Statistics.
