This semester I had the pleasure (+ challenge) of teaching Regression Analysis. Much of the content was originally designed by the inimitable @MT_statistics, I’m handing it back w/ 3 updates:

🧹 #tidymodels
🔮 more predictive modeling
🔵 @quarto_pub!

🔗 sta210-s22.github.io/website The curriculum now features a roughly equal dose of inferential and predictive models, using tidyverse and tidymodels for the #rstats code + all course content (website, slides, documents) created w/ Quarto. Source code for everything can be found at github.com/sta210-s22/web….

I am *overjoyed* to announce that our newest @OpenIntroOrg book "Introduction to Modern Statistics" (co-authored with the fantastic @jo_hardin47) is out!

I'm deeply disappointed in @DataCamp leadership, and cannot, in good conscience, recommend it to my students. Questionable ethics at tech companies are sadly common, but it hits especially close to home when it happens at an education company that I worked with & promoted. (1/5) This means:
1. My @Coursera course no longer offers option for #rstats labs via @DataCamp.This years-long collaboration represents hard work by @DukeLearning+DataCamp staff to provide browser-based R access for thousands of learners,fruits of this effort will now go unused(2/5)
