Hi Mike, thank you for these awesome R studio videos. Interestingly enough, most of the code that did not work for me I was able to spot my mistakes using you online tutorials. May I know if you have tutorials on error bars on barplots?
Thank you for you help.

Hi Josh, I believe the 'mirror' you are using is the NiCS in Oak Ridge, TN. When I try to access this mirror, I am unable to...i believe there is some issue with that particular mirror and maybe their server is down or something. I'm also not able to install the "psych" package using that mirror.

You should try using another mirror close to you, such as the one in TX or MO. Those ones both worked for me.

Good luck, let us know how it goes!

Hi, thanks for making these videos.

Sorry for not able to make it work, but I tried installing packages as instructed and my RStudio would just freeze up. No Cran Mirror pop-up or anything. It does work on the pure RGui, but not RStudio. Do you have any idea what might be causing the issue?
