Obtaining and Applying Public Data for Training Students in Technical Statistical Writing: Case Studies with Data from U.S. Geological Survey and General Ecological Literature
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Barb Bennie; Richard A. Erickson – Journal of Statistics and Data Science Education, 2024
Effective undergraduate statistical education requires training using real-world data. Textbook datasets seldom match the complexities and messiness of real-world data and finding these datasets can be challenging for educators. Consulting and industrial datasets often have nondisclosure agreements. Academic datasets often require subject area…

Active-Learning Class Activities and Shiny Applications for Teaching Support Vector Classifiers
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Qing Wang; Xizhen Cai – Journal of Statistics and Data Science Education, 2024
Support vector classifiers are one of the most popular linear classification techniques for binary classification. Different from some commonly seen model fitting criteria in statistics, such as the ordinary least squares criterion and the maximum likelihood method, its algorithm depends on an optimization problem under constraints, which is…

Memorization and Performance during Pandemic Remote Instruction: Evidence of Shifts from an Interactive Textbook
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
PDF on ERIC Download full text
Jose L. Salas; Xinran Wang; Mary C. Tucker; Ji Y. Son – Online Learning, 2024
Students believe mathematics is best learned by memorization; however, endorsing memorization as a study strategy is associated with a decrease in learning (Schoenfeld, 1989). When the world changed with the onset of the COVID-19 global pandemic, instruction transitioned to fully remote instruction where many assignments and examinations became…
