Self Introduction

Hi Everyone! My name is Bao Sun (Jason) and I am a second year master student of ECE. Very glad to be a member of STAT545! I am never used R before and I am quite interested in the amazing functionality of R in data science. I am looking forward to learning more new things and do more work in data science !

Current Course Plan

Here is a list of to-do list I want to achieve in the course in the future.

• Learn the basic usage of R
• Markdown Usage in R and write independent blog with R
• Do some research on simple R machine learning algorithm
• Get a good score of this course

How do I edit the README.MD?

Actually I edited the README.MD from Mac Terminal by Vim, RStudio and Github Web by all means as I want to practise to see the difference between them.

Of course it is easier to do within Vim as I have been using Vim for quite some time :)

Furthermore, I do all the git operations for git add, git commit, git push orign master from terminal as I have been using Git for quite some time....

I think it is very interesting and worthwhile to use Git to do iterative development for R document like other software development methodologies.
