2 years ago thanks a lot for your positive feedback! i've put the slides together in keynote. to copy code from rmarkdown with syntax highlighting i use this command line tool: https://formulae.brew.sh/formula/highlight
i'm not sure i have any good pointers to resources and inspiration. the key of the course is to get students to better understand statistical concepts through programming & simulation (as that's the route that comes most naturally to me). so to get there: we cover visualization, data wrangling, and simulation/probability first.
the other key inspiration is to think of statistical analysis as model comparison: that questions about which model is best often boil down to trading off model fit and complexity. that trade-off can be made via frequentist statistics, via cross-validation, or via bayesian data analysis (and we cover each of these approaches).
you can find more information (including book recommendations) on the course website: https://psych252.github.io/
Hi Toby, I am really impressed with your lecture slides for the course. 👍🏾 They are really thorough with just the right content which makes for amazing visuals. At first I thought they were made using markdown but perhaps I was mistaken. Can you please share some resources and inspiration behind your work? I would love to learn this form of course narration.
