Preparation steps

If you want to use your own laptop for the hands-on for the hands-on-exercises it is recommendable to install the R environment before the tutorial (due to probably small bandwidth).

So, please go to the R download page and choose the nearest mirror site. The easiest way is to download a precompiled version for your operating system. After downloading the installation file, install the program on your laptop.

To test, if the program is installed correctly, start the R-Environment (the Rgui-program) and paste the following code into the input window and type return ...

    x<-seq(-pi, pi, by=0.01)
    y<-sin(2*x)
    plot(x,y, type="l")
a nice sinus plot (like this) should appear
