A Course In Data Science: R And Prediction Modeling, Adam Kapelner
A Course In Data Science: R And Prediction Modeling, Adam Kapelner
Open Educational Resources
This is a self-contained course in data science and machine learning using R. It covers philosophy of modeling with data, prediction via linear models, machine learning including support vector machines and random forests, probability estimation and asymmetric costs using logistic regression and probit regression, underfitting vs. overfitting, model validation, handling missingness and much more. There is formal instruction of data manipulation using dplyr and data.table, visualization using ggplot2 and statistical computing.

Lab Exercises For Statistics Using Excel, Julia Nebia, Steven Cosares, Milena Cuellar
Open Educational Resources
This document contains the text associated with a series of computer-based lab exercises to help students apply the concepts usually included in a first course in Statistics. A compressed file has been included that contains a separate folder for each lab. In each folder is an excel spreadsheet file and an editable word document providing the instructions for students to complete the exercise. The exercises are not numbered in the folders, so you can select any subset of these exercises to assign to your students. You are free to modify the instructions in any way you see fit, e.g., to …
Species In Vernal Pools: Anova, Lisa Manne
Species In Vernal Pools: Anova, Lisa Manne
Open Educational Resources
A one-way analysis of variance exercise using data on species diversities from vernal pools.Data are from vernal pools in Willowbrook Park (adjacent to College of Staten Island's campus) in spring.
The typical ANOVA gives a straightforward result (significant anova, easily-interpreted Tukey-Kramer analysis). This data set requires more nuanced interpretation, as the ANOVA is marginally significant, and Tukey-Kramer yields one significant pairwise comparison between groups. Relative lack of variation within groups explains this apparent enigma.
Quan 201: Quantitative Reasoning And Society, Cuny School Of Professional Studies
Quan 201: Quantitative Reasoning And Society, Cuny School Of Professional Studies
Open Educational Resources
An interdisciplinary introduction to the ways in which data can be used to enhance thinking and decision-making capacities, including using simple statistical techniques, creating visual representations of quantitative data, deriving accurate conclusions from quantitative data, and using data effectively in analyses and arguments. Assignments build capacity to evaluate and write clearly about quantitative evidence using methods for analyzing and communicating about data that do not require complex mathematics.
Math 215: Introduction To Statistics, Cuny School Of Professional Studies
Math 215: Introduction To Statistics, Cuny School Of Professional Studies
Open Educational Resources
Introduces the basic principles of statistics and probability, with an emphasis on understanding the underlying concepts, real-world applications, and the underlying story that the numbers tell. Uses Microsoft Excel’s statistical functions to analyze data. Provides an introduction to probability, descriptive statistics, hypothesis testing, and inferential statistics.
Eco 230 / Mgt 230 Introduction To Economic And Managerial Statistics, George Vachadze
Eco 230 / Mgt 230 Introduction To Economic And Managerial Statistics, George Vachadze
Open Educational Resources
Development and application of modern statistical methods, including such elements of descriptive statistics and statistical inference as correlation and regression analysis, probability theory, sampling procedures, normal distribution and binomial distribution, estimation, and testing of hypotheses.
The Undergraduate Student’S Guide To Geometric Morphometrics, Erika Crispo
The Undergraduate Student’S Guide To Geometric Morphometrics, Erika Crispo
Open Educational Resources
Embarking on a new research endeavor can be a daunting task. User guides, books, and published articles are written for an audience that already has some background experience in the field. Undergraduate students like you, who are at the very beginning of their research careers, often struggle to make sense of these documents. Furthermore, students like you often attempt to do so while balancing heavy course loads. Thus, I have written this document to help ease the burden so that you have more time to ponder the interesting scientific questions instead of digging through pages upon pages of documentation. I …
Cs + Sociology: Using Big Data To Identify And Understand Educational Inequality In America (1), Joseph Cleary, Elin Waring
Cs + Sociology: Using Big Data To Identify And Understand Educational Inequality In America (1), Joseph Cleary, Elin Waring
Open Educational Resources
This is the first of two lessons/labs for teaching and learning of computer science and sociology. Either and be used on their own or they can be used in sequence, in which case this should be used first.
Students will develop CS skills and behaviors including but not limited to: learning what an API is, learning how to access and utilize data on an API, and developing their R coding skills and knowledge. Students will also learn basic, but important, sociological principles such as how poverty is related to educational opportunities in America. Although prior knowledge of CS and sociology …
Mapping In The Humanities: Gis Lessons For Poets, Historians, And Scientists, Emily W. Fairey
Mapping In The Humanities: Gis Lessons For Poets, Historians, And Scientists, Emily W. Fairey
Open Educational Resources
User-friendly Geographic Information Systems (GIS) is the common thread of this collection of presentations, and activities with full lesson plans. The first section of the site contains an overview of cartography, the art of creating maps, and then looks at historical mapping platforms like Hypercities and Donald Rumsey Historical Mapping Project. In the next section Google Earth Desktop Pro is introduced, with lessons and activities on the basics of GE such as pins, paths, and kml files, as well as a more complex activity on "georeferencing" an historic map over Google Earth imagery. The final section deals with ARCGIS Online …

Air Pollution [Liberal Arts: Math And Science/Natural Science], Ian Alberts
Open Educational Resources
This assignment was designed for students in the pathways introductory chemistry class and the first year seminar and aligns with the Inquiry and Problem Solving core competency. In this context, there is a focus on “framing the issues” (identifies and/or addresses questions and problems), “evidence gathering” (assembles, reviews and synthesizes evidence from several diverse sources), “evidence” (analyze the data to address the questions posed) and “conclusions” (critical thinking, reflect on the outcomes, draw conclusions and generate new knowledge). There is also a Global Learning component based on comparing data collected locally with corresponding data from other locations or countries. The …

Technology Design: The Movement Of Means, Yu Gu
Technology Design: The Movement Of Means, Yu Gu
Open Educational Resources
In order to promote students’ conceptual understanding and learning experience in introductory statistics, a technology task, which focuses on the probability distribution in which means are defined, was created using TinkerPlots, an exploratory dataanalysis and modeling software. The targeted audiences range from senior high school grade levels to college freshmen who are starting their introductory course in statistics. Students will be guided to explore and discover the movement behaviors of means of a set of numbers randomly generated from a fixed range of values characterized by a predetermined probability distribution. The cognitive, mathematical, technological and pedagogical natures of the task, …

Open Educational Resources
The purpose of this tutorial is to provide a very basic introduction to implementing three simple research designs using the simsem package in R. R is an open source statistical computing environment (R Core Team, 2015). For more information about R, see the R Project homepage (https://www.r-project.org/) and the Comprehensive R Archive Network (CRAN) web page (https://cran.r-project.org/). The lavaan package provides functions for fitting and evaluating structural equation models (Rosseel, 2012). For further information about the lavaan package including tutorials, see the lavaan Project web page (http://lavaan.ugent.be/). The simsem package (Pornprasertmanit, Miller & Schoemann, 2016) provides functions to facilitate structural …
