This repo contains the code boxes in the book Statistical Rethinking, converted to .ipynb, making it convenient to load the code into Kaggle's Notebook environment (it's free).

The rethinking R package requires rstan, which is not easy to install and may cause problems on some computers. Kaggle's R notebook has Rstan installed already, thus making the setup of the environment fast and easy (you only need to install rethinking from github, which can be done by just running the first code chunk in the notebooks).

The code from book_code_boxes.txt is split into several notebooks by chapter, which can be found in /notebooks.

You can load a notebook in this repo into Kaggle's Notebook environment by clicking File > Load from URL in the notebook interface (also, make sure to set the language to R on the right panel). The URL is in the form of:

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/liao961120/rethinking_code/main/notebooks/ch{dd}.ipynb

So, for instance, if you want to load the code in chapter 4, the URL would be:
