Material Detail

Welcome! This resource offers an interactive learning experience for introductory biostatistics. This resource was designed with the course BIOS:4120 Introduction to Biostatistics at the University of Iowa in mind, but could be used in any introductory statistics or biostatistics course. We combine textual explanations and embedded interactive Shiny applications, to provide students with an engaging learning resource that offers an intuitive illustration of core statistical concepts. The applications and associated exercises are targeted at conceptional understanding, as opposed to calculations.

At this point in time, we provide chapters on:

• Introduction to biostatistics
• Data and data summaries
• Study design and bias
• Randomness, probability, and simulation
• Probability distributions
• Sampling distributions and Central Limit Theorem
• Confidence intervals and hypothesis testing
