V8, needed for the dagitty package
This repository is structured with a homework/ folder for homework
solutions, and notes/ folder for notes. For folks joining in the
colearning group, you are encouraged to make your own branch in this
repository and share your notes and/or homework solutions.
The R/ folder can be used to store reusable functions useful across
homework solutions and your own model situations.
For example, the dag_plot function makes a DAG plot from a DAG:
library(ggplot2)
library(ggdag)##
## Attaching package: 'ggdag'
## The following object is masked from 'package:stats':
##
## filter
library(dagitty)
source('R/dag_plot.R')
dag <- dagify(
Z ~ A + B,
B ~ A,
exposure = 'A',
outcome = 'Z'
)
dag_plot(dag)
See the full list of branches.
Many thanks to Richard McElreath for a continued emphasis on teaching Bayesian statistics and for providing this incredible resource of lectures and homework assignments free for everyone.
Also thank you to the developers of R, Stan and innumerous R packages that allow us to pursue this interest.
