# Preface {#preface}
This book is authored using **bookdown**, an R package written by Yihiu Xie. Documentation for writing documents using bookdown is available [here](https://bookdown.org/yihui/bookdown/). I wrote this book using [Rstudio](https://www.rstudio.com/)
```{r rlogo, echo=FALSE, fig.height=0.1, fig.width=0.1}
knitr::include_graphics("images/rlogo.png")
```
## Acknowledgements
I would like to thank the teaching assistants Naomi Ziv, Darach Miller and Grace Avecilla who helped me develop the course upon which this book is based. Writing this textbook was started during a sabbatical I spent at the [Harry Perkins Institute of Medical Research](https://www.perkins.org.au/) in [Perth, Australia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perth) and was made possible by a grant from the National Science Foudation.
