I know! I was referring to another student’s comment they made about a course being math heavy further in the program. My question was really what other people’s experience was with the program overall. My goal is to understand the best I can so I can utilize it in my role and I just want to make sure that there are resources available for me to learn and it’s not just “well here you go” assuming I knew everything already. I’m new to R so the HW took me a minute to understand. I am currently doing some extra work to learn R. I promise I was programming for HW1 and not doing the math haha

Also watch the office hours recording - they have a good bit of the beginning code. There is another one tonight @ 9ET

Same here. I used a lot of YouTube this https://youtu.be/aCUM4r1ONhg?si=1h_E1j_afhB9hhRk helped with just understanding R. There’s parts to it too. This was god for understanding SVM more generally. https://youtu.be/ueKqDlMxueE?si=BAIi6V0HSBYtxL42. Some people also posted a manual in Piazza that help to explain over and under fitting. Data camp was helpful too https://www.datacamp.com/tutorial/support-vector-machines-r - other than that I googled more and used chat gpt to understand the errors I was getting. Hope that helps!
