• Feel free to bring your computer to discussion
• Discussion is not “required” but attendance will end up impacting your grade
• Quizzes will occasionally take place in discussion, so if you want to switch sections, do it formally with Glenda Jones in the stat department
• We'll be talking mostly about R and your homework
• I love it when people answer (and ask!) questions, don't feel shy
• I also appreciate feedback (anonymous is fine)

I'm not great with names, but I want to try! Please tell me

• your first name (what you prefer to be called)
• how much experience you have with R

For example, I'm Amelia, and I've been using R for about 7 years.

STAT 102B: question about problem 3, part b

Professor Sanchez,

I am having trouble with question 3b on homework 4. I tried running the code you suggested, but I keep getting this error

Error in omega * t(X) %*% X : non-conformable arrays 

What does that mean?

Thanks for your help,

Amelia (student ID number)
