Readings, lectures, and videos
Each class session has one or two videos that you should watch before coming to class. These videos are the lectures recorded by Richard McElreath.
The in-class lecture slides are special HTML files made with the R package xaringan (R can do so much!). On each class session page you’ll see buttons for opening the presentation in a new tab or for downloading a PDF of the slides in case you want to print them or store them on your computer:
The slides are also embedded on each page. You can click in the slides and navigate through them with ← and →. If you type ? (or shift + /) while viewing the slides you can see a list of slide-specific commands (like f for fullscreen or p for presenter mode if you want to see my notes).
I will note for each set of lecture slides which chapters in the 2nd edition of the McElreath book correspond with that day’s lesson. However, many of the functions we use – especially starting in week 4 – will not be from McElreath’s materials, but instead from the brms and tidybayes packages.
