README.md

The "lecture notes" of STAT 545A and 547M are hosted here, using bookdown.

Rendering the book

To update the website with changes, just push a change to this repo, and Travis CI will automatically build the book, and netlify will deploy the book.

If you want to see what the book will look like before incorporating the change to the website, view the book locally using bookdown in R:

1. Ensure bookdown is installed via install.packages("bookdown").
2. Render the book in one of two ways:
   • Clicking "knit" in RStudio when editing one of the cm___.Rmd files should display that file's changes in the book.
   • Otherwise, execute the R code bookdown::render_book("index.Rmd"), and this should render the entire book, which you can view in the newly modified index.html file, or by executing the R code bookdown::serve_book().

Editing notes

Please keep to the following bookdown conventions:

• Reserve Level 1 headers for a new lecture (or new "Part", like a STAT 545A part and a STAT 547M part).

Notation:

• cmxyy stands for class meeting number yy, where x=0 stands for STAT 545A, and x=1 547M.
• The ordering of these files matters! It determines the "chapter" order.
