Here are my beginner-friendly interactive graphs to help build intuition about key stats concepts: - bit.ly/dss_shiny_rand… - bit.ly/dss_shiny_mean… - bit.ly/dss_shiny_corr… - bit.ly/dss_shiny_inte… - bit.ly/dss_shiny_leas… Hope they're helpful! #rstats

Just finished lectures on representative samples, random sampling, frequency/proportion tables, histograms, descriptive statistics, scatter plots, and correlations (lectures 7 and 9). Also updated the corresponding shiny apps! #rstats

Not sure if our beginner-friendly textbook is the right fit for you to teach/learn stats and R? #rstats 1. read chapter 1 for free: bit.ly/dss_preview 2. complete self-graded review exercises: bit.ly/dss_student_re… 3. review instructor resources: bit.ly/dss_instructors

Finally done with intro to causal inference lectures (5 and 6)!

Are you using our textbook to teach stats and R? I am revising my lecture slides — see my progress here: bit.ly/dss_instructors. Updated source files will be available to instructors via PUP in a few weeks. Hope everyone is having a great summer! #rstats

How does the mean and standard deviation of a variable affect its distribution? Here is a beginner-friendly interactive graph: 📊bit.ly/dss_shiny_mean… #rstats
