Reflection Questions

How was the R install process?

It was pretty straight forward and simple.

How was the course folder organization process?

OneDrive was giving me some problems when trying to download it as an application on my Mac, but eventually I figured it out and making all the different folders and organizing them was no problem!

Installing new packages

#install.packages("psych")
#install.packages("psychTools")

Calling packages

library(psych)
library(psychTools)

Call in sample data “epi.bdi” from the PsychTools package

data("epi.bfi")
summary(epi.bfi)

Run the histogram and mean functions on “bdi” variable

hist(epi.bfi$bdi)

mean(epi.bfi$bdi)
## [1] 6.779221

This is the end of the First R Lab – we did it!
