A Basic Regression in R

 Here is a basic R program for doing a simple linear regression.  Below I'll show some common modifications that one might want to add that aren't intuitive to add.

 

First, we import the data, in this case from a comma separated variable file.

emp <- read.table("/Vols/duphenix/Docs/self_emp/employ.csv",header=TRUE,sep="," )

I'll explain each piece

American Economic Conference

For anyone keeping track, I'm in Atlanta, Georgia. At the American Economics Association / American Social Sciences Association Conference. Currently I'm sitting in the Atlanta Hard Rock Cafe. I'm typing this on a bluetooth keyboard connected to my iPhone. It's the first day of the conference so they have only had one session. It was Joseph Stiglitz, talking about what led to the recent crisis. His speech boiled down to the schism between the market system and the social good.

Getting a website up and running.

For anyone who is curious as to what went into building this site.

Happy New Year

Happy New Year Everyone,

 

I went out and spent $70 on a webhosting account for 2 years, and started building this site at 7 PM today.  This is the result so far, about 75% of what I want works, and the rest will be coming online within the next few days.

 

This site is mostly for my own personal use, to document some things, and to advertise myself, but feel free to sign up for an account and contribute yourself.
