Getting Lab 3 (in groups of 3)

  • To obtain the lab, copy the following R code into the Console where EMAIL is your Pacific email (mine is isma5720@pacificu.edu) and LastnameFirstname is where you have shared your RStudio project with me (mine is IsmayChester):

      file.copy(from = "/shared/isma5720@pacificu.edu/lab3.Rmd",
            to = "/home/EMAIL/LastnameFirstname/")
  • You now can work on the lab3.Rmd file and save your results there.
  • You’ll only turn in one lab per your group. Your partners have been assigned in the Google Sheet here.
