When I was in graduate school my friends used to joke about how email programs would auto-correct my name “Greta Linse” to “Great Lines”. I used to think it would be fun to grow up and start a railroad company and name it Great Lines. Well starting a new railroad transportation company is hard but marketing my services as a statistician and technical writer is much easier.
That brings me to now and my writing and consulting business. When I decided to branch out on my own I couldn’t choose any other name than “Great Lines” which works just as well, if not better, for a writing and consulting company as for a railroad company.
After working for a commercial statistical software company for 8 years I decided that it was time to go back to my dual passions of teaching college courses and statistical consulting. So here I am!
I am planning on using this blog post to share information about tips and tricks with various software programs I have used in my work as well as common questions about statistics that arise from both my consulting clients as well as my students.
My first few posts will coincide with the beginning of the new semester and will be designed to help both my students and anyone else who needs a bit more detail get R and RStudio installed and running with some basic examples.
