Great Presentation!,

Thank you for the video. The links in the description are not working. The error I get is "Access Denied. You don't have permission to access the file or directory you requested". Kindly fix this so that users can access the sample files and R-script.

Thank you for pointing it out. I am on it and will let you know when it is fixed soon.

Why make waterfront a dummy variable? You lose useful labelling . Make it a factor and the regression model will treat it properly. You can check that with the model.matrix() function.

[@carstenlange8073]

Using as.factor() is undoubtedly more elegant. I chose a dummy because dummy variables are a more general statistical concept. The regression results should be the same to the best of my knowledge. If not, it would be great if you could let me know. Thanks for watching.

it seems that the link to the housing dataset is broken! Can anyone confirm that and maybe even fix that. Many thanks...

[@carstenlange8073]

Hi Gerhard, Thank you for pointing this out. It is fixed for now. Let me know if not. Starting 8/1/2022 there might be new problems out of my control, but I will find a fix somehow and report.

set.seed (111)..............what is the meaning of that? please anyone tell me.

[@carstenlange8073]

It makes the generation of random numbers reproducible. I.e., the R would always produce the same sequence of random numbers. The number in set.seed is irrelevant. However, the same number will produce the same sequence of random numbers.

thank u for this; how to knit a flextable into a word document using rmarkdown?

[@carstenlange8073]

Thank you for the kudos. Regarding your question: I use the kableExtra package for tables with the kbl function. It works well with R markdown and is easy to use. flextables seems to be more powerful but also more difficult to implement. I saw references to word on pages 34, 64, and 69 of the manual (cran.r-project.org/web/packages/flextable/flextable.pdf). I hope this helps.
