Disclaimer

  • We are using a lot of (R) code. When talking about code there is no a unique solution or method. My approach is not the best. If your code works, everything good 😄
  • If we have time, we can discuss about best practice in writing code in terms of efficiency, organization and clarity 😎
  • Also for statistics related topics, there are often multiple options to solve a problem. If you know other alternatives beyond the proposed topics, we can discuss it 😉

Let’s start!
