Muddiest Points

I still find purr very confusing. But I am beginning to understand it more after using it on linear regression models

the nesting of tables and the following functions we applied still bends my mind a bit.

nest() and unnest() seem really really cool but I would be interested to learn a little bit more about how they’re used

purrr df/model tables. You say it’s a way to screen a lot of models, but it really seems like a way to apply one model to a bunch of dfs. Like, you’d need another dimension to test more models.

Thank you

While the nesting and un-nesting were more challenging topics, I thought the examples were great and I felt pretty good about everything by the end.

I thought that ggpairs was a cool function and would have been useful for the biostats project

Thanks for teaching cool stuff :)

Our Minds are Full

My brain is always so full by the end of the class that I forget what was fuzzy and what was clear.
