Material overview
📚 General references
The following textbooks offer a good general reference to the course content, and I think its a good idea to read into these books in a general way. Moreover, I often point to chapters in the respective session pages.
Wickham, H., Çetinkaya-Rundel, M., & Grolemund, G. (2023). R for data science: Import, tidy, transform, visualize, and model data (2nd edition). O’Reilly. https://r4ds.hadley.nz/

For more advanced details on the fundamentals of programming in R, I recommend the following:
- Wickham, H. (2019). Advanced R (Second edition). CRC Press/Taylor & Francis Group. https://adv-r.hadley.nz/
For the model-related parts of the lecture I recommend the following book as a further reading reference:
