Inspired by interactive (oral) assessments, I’m planning on incorporating an interactive (coding) assessment into my #biostats course. Students will be given scenario attached. Keen to hear thoughts/tips/advice if you’ve run something similar. #StatsEd #StatsSky #EduSky #rstats #TidyTuesday

Prompt for an interactive coding assessment. Reads,”Scenario
You are in a technical interview with a senior data analyst at a research lab. Your task is to quickly wrangle and visualize a provided dataset. The focus will be on your approach to solving the problem, how you handle any challenges, and your coding process. The data analyst is there to observe your methods, not to judge the final result. You have 10 minutes to complete the task. This task will focus on
◦ How you approach cleaning the data and dealing with any issues
◦ How you use external tools (e.g., Stack Overflow, AI assistance) to resolve challenges
◦ How clean and readable your code is
◦ How well you explain your process, reasoning, and decisions”

*Playtesters wanted* statbiscuit-tomato-trials.netlify.app A game where students can design their own experiment! Planning to use in-class next year but would appreciate some testers first. In particular, if you have some experimental design skills, it'd be great to hear your chosen design/model.

I talked a wee bit too much about Stardew Valley in #biostats class so one of my students was inspired to collect and analyse their own data. If you have a few mins to spare :) forms.gle/SSK1LBppovxw...

Fine, I might have gotten a bit too dragon-obsessed with setting assignment questions for my first-time #rstats class. I may have also just finished Iron Flame... There's no way you can tell... If you'd like to plot a dragon too gist.github.com/cmjt/6e30df9... #tidyverse #TidyTuesday

On the lookout for recent #biostats publications with (nice) open data for use in a postgrad biostats. Anything from (g)lm(m) to PCA, LDA... I have my usual data deps and journals to peruse but am keen to find more, esp. outside ecology and environment. #EduSky #TidyTuesday Suggestions and RP 🙏

I’ve been lucky enough to work with Janelle Evans creating stats illustrations for my biostatistics course. The cow theme makes sense honestly!! #StatsEd #EduSky slidedeck, will be updated, biosci738.github.io/cowstats/

Illustration of the steps of randomisation test: choose statistic, calculate statistic, randomise groups to build sampling distribution, compare to observed.

Illustration of bootstrapping procedure.

Illustration of MLE for parameters mu and sigma.

Various measures from a fictional sample of cows and their assumed statistical distribution: Normal, Poisson, Binomial, Gamma.
