This repository is part of a University of Chicago course called "Computation for the Social Sciences" taught in the fall of 2020.

  • scorecard.Rmd and gss-colrac.Rmd are Markdown files that renders written analysis of the data.
  • scorecard.md contains charts and details about linear models of student debt data in the US.
  • gss-colrac.md contains charts and details about classification models of attitutes towards racist professors in the US.
