Thursday, September 12, 2019
Overview
Today I will give you about half the class period to finish your practice problems and I can answer questions.
Knitting on Trading Room Computers
Last year, IT and I were unable to get the Trading Room computers to knit to pdf. I may have a workaround. We will install a minimal version of LATEX inside of R Studio. Run the following code:
Then make a new .Rmd and try to knit it to pdf. It may install several packages (knitr and rmarkdown at least) and ask you a few prompts. It should then work.

Practice Problems
The answer keys (in various formats) to last class’s practice problems (on data wrangling in the tidyverse) have been posted. Today’s “practice problems” are a series of raw .Rmd files that I’ve used for various things, so you can see how they work.
Problem Set
Problem Set 1 is posted and is due Thursday September 19.
