I've been reading books about GLM and Bayesian Statistics and am using the "glm" function and "brms" and "rstanarm" packages. They're pretty fun. If any of you are interested in using those packages know that rstan is a bit weird which is why I'm using R 4.0.2 and rtools42 and not the current versions.
