Econometrics I practice session (prof. Wolfgang Scherrer), summer 2012

Useful links

• The Matrix Cookbook by Petersen and Pedersen
• Econometrics in R by Farnsworth

There is also a quite decent commercial book on econometrics in R, Applied Econometrics with R by Kleiber and Zeileis, but it is not worth it to get it just for this course.

• May 3: 9.6, 1.4, 1.7, 1.8, 1.13, 2.1, 2.2

  For 9.6 you should use the following data set: PCM.csv. This is Wolfgang Scherrer's sample code from the lecture notes: PCM.R.
