Introduction to Statistical Testing and Sampling: Exercises (Part 1)
For a majority of users, the primary use of R is for statistical testing and analysis. At the heart of this, within the frequentist world, lies hypothesis testing and distribution sampling. The skill in conducting this sort of work is being able to identify an appropriate distribution on which to model the question and test […]

Predicting Housing Prices with Linear Regression Exercises
Regression techniques are a crucial skill in any data scientist or statisticians toolkit. It is even crucial for people who are unfamiliar with regression modeling. It is a nice way to introduce yourself to the topic through a simple linear model. A linear model is an explanation of how a continuous response variable behaves, dependent […]

Survival Analysis: Exercises (Part 2)
This is the second part of a series on conducting Survival Analysis in R using Survival and Survminer. It is advised to first complete the first set of exercises (here) before attempting these, as there is a direct continuation of knowledge. The second part of this series focuses on more complex and insightful methods through […]
