Subject: [R-meta] Book suggestion to understand the technical stuff
In-Reply-To: <DB9P251MB0156439E8241698A1717F9E7CA592@DB9P251MB0156.EURP251.PROD.OUTLOOK.COM>
Dear Emily
You might get more helpful replies if you said what level of
mathematical training you have had. Are you familiar with basic algebra
features like the summation notation and the use of subscripts? Do you
know about logarithms and exponentiation? Have you learned about matrix
notation? I do not think you need to know about differential calculus to
get quite a long way.
