Setup, notation, and a modeling reference

These are the reference pages to keep open while you read the notes and work the labs — the symbols, the model families, and the software setup, all in one place.

• Notation glossary — the symbols and conventions used throughout the course, from \(\hat{y}\) and \(b_1\) to \(R^2\) and the odds ratio, with a plain-language meaning for each.
• Modeling reference — a one-page summary of the model families we use (simple and multiple regression, categorical predictors, interactions, logistic regression, ANOVA): their form, what each coefficient means, and how to interpret the standard output.
• R · Quarto setup — how to install or open R, RStudio or Posit Cloud, and Quarto, and how to run the shown modeling code in your own session.

These pages are orientation and study aids. For graded specifics — deadlines, submissions, and the operational details of the course — more lives in Blackboard (the LMS), which is authoritative.
