Interactive R tutorials

The following are interactive R tutorials, designed to give you more practice with R. These are optional, but the “Road Traffic Accidents” dataset show up in your next homework assignment as well, so you might want to go through that one so that you can gain familiarity with it. If you’re struggling with any of the topics covered this week, I strongly recommend you work through the second tutorial as well.
