Probability and Statistics: a simulation-based introduction

This draft has been superseded. Here is the latest version.

The original form of the book is available in pdf form.

This is also released under BSD-3 and CC BY-ND 4.0.

Building the original draft

  • System Prerequisites: pandoc and pandoc-citeproc must be installed on the operating system and available to be executed on the system PATH.
  • R Prerequisitea: All of the packages found in before-chapter.R must be installed: As of now, this includes ggplot2, grid, gridExtra, knitr, MASS, reshape, rstan, tufte, and bookdown.

Building the HTML

From either the shell script or R commands, HTML output will be generated in directory _book, with top-level page

prob-stats/original/_book/index.html
Building original HTML from unix

From the shell, first change to the directory for the repo, then run the build shell script.

$ cd prob-stats/original
$ ./build.sh
Building original HTML from R

Load the bookdown library, set the working directory to the directory for the repo, then render the book.

$ library(bookdown)
$ setwd('prob-stats/original')
$ bookdown::render_book('index.Rmd')

Rendering with just index.Rmd as an argument defers the style to the index.Rmd yaml header.

Building the original PDF

Pre-requisite: Building the pdf requires pdflatex to be installed on the operating system and available on the PATH.

From either the shell script or R commands, PDF output will be generated in

prob-stats/original/_main.pdf
Building original PDF from unix

From the shell, first change to the directory for the repo, then run the build shell script.

$ cd prob-stats/original
$ ./build-pdf.sh
Building original PDF from R

Load the bookdown library, set the working directory to the directory for the repo, then render the book.

$ library(bookdown)
$ setwd('prob-stats/original')
$ bookdown::render_book('index.Rmd', 'tufte_book2')

In this case, we specified the tufte_book2 format in the call to render, which will override the default specification in index.Rmd. The PDF file will be in file _book/_main.pdf.

Note on building original book from RStudio

If you try to build using the knit button in RStudio from the index.Rmd file, you will get the default HTML output because that is what is specified in the YAML header at the top of index.Rmd.
