Textbooks

But not both! Chapters 1-14 are identical in these books.
Text only, without a CD, is fine. Textbook data sets are available on our Canvas course page and the authors' book site.

R corner

Download R from this site and install it in your system. The same site also contains various R manuals and other help.

Python corner

To use Python via Jupyter notebook, install Anaconda from this site, start it, and click "Launch" in the Jupyter Notebook box. Here are the steps, and another nice installation guide. A detailed interactive Python tutorial is here.

SAS corner

Commercial SAS license may be expensive. For our use in class, SAS offers free access - SAS OnDemand for Academics Note tutorials in the bottom of that page.
  • SAS Labs for our course
  • More learning resources from SAS
  • SAS Viya, the latest version of SAS, has free access for students
