Additional resources
A list of interesting R resources to be updated throughout the course. If you find something cool and/or helpful, email it to and I might add it to this page!
R educational resources
Webpage of the previous version of this course: Taught by Kenneth Tay - much of this course is based on that, but it's worth a look to see a slightly different presentation of similar subjects and get some datasets to play with
R-Exercises: A large collection of R exercises arranged by topic
R-bloggers: Lots of vignettes and examples of data analysis done in R
kaggle: A site that hosts data science competitions. Though we won't be covering any statistical or machine learning techniques in this course, its a great source of clean datasets.
Datasets
Governmental or NGO open data websites (e.g. City of Palo Alto, State of California, World Bank)
Awesome Public Datasets: A compilation of links to various open datasets
Google Dataset Search: A tool for searching for open datasets
Data Is Plural: A weekly newsletter of interesting datasets.
New York Times US Covid-19 data: Live updating dataset containing state-by-state and county-by-county infection data.
Fun R stuff
R shiny dashboard for correlations between various stats for NBA 2017-18 season
