Purpose I recently completed a set of data science for biostatistics training exercises for graduate students. I extensively used R for Data Science and Efficient R programming to develop a set of...continue reading.

Data science Data science is a critical component of many domains of research including the domain I primarily function – ecology. However, in teaching biostatistics within the university context, we...continue reading.
