Announcements

  • Lab 3
    • “1 - unit increase” for categorical variables is WRONG
      • We are comparing the mean IAT score for different categories
    • Still a couple students with factor issues in main variable
      • Make sure to use fct_relevel to change the order of the categories
      • Example: fatal_dep = fatal_dep %>% mutate(Fatalism = fct_relevel(Fatalism, "Low", "Medium", "High"))
      • Ordering with as.order or ordered will mess up your regression (example)
  • Quiz 2 scores up
  • I will be posting the poster instructions TONIGHT!
  • HW 5 will be optional (see homework page)
  • Anything else?
