R4DS Introduction to Statistical Learning Using R Book Club

Welcome to the R4DS Introduction to Statistical Learning Using R Book Club!

We are working together to read Introduction to Statistical Learning Using R by Gareth James, Daniela Witten, Trevor Hastie, and Rob Tibshirani (Springer Science+Business Media, LLC, part of Springer Nature, copyright 2021, 978-1-0716-1418-1_1). Join the #book_club-islr channel on the R4DS Slack to participate. As we read, we are producing notes about the book.

How to Present

This repository is structured as a {bookdown} site. To present, follow these instructions:

1. Setup Github Locally
2. Fork this repository.
3. Create a New Project in RStudio using your fork.
4. Install dependencies for this book with devtools::install_dev_deps() (technically optional but it's nice to be able to rebuild the full book).
5. Create a New Branch in your fork for your work.
6. Edit the appropriate chapter file, if necessary. Use ## to indicate new slides (new sections).
7. If you use any packages that are not already in the DESCRIPTION, add them. You can use usethis::use_package("myCoolPackage") to add them quickly!
8. Commit your changes.
9. Push your changes to your branch.
10. Open a Pull Request (PR) to let us know that your slides are ready.

When your PR is checked into the main branch, the bookdown site will rebuild, adding your slides to this site.
