Johnson, Marina E.; Misra, Ram; Berenson, Mark – Decision Sciences Journal of Innovative Education, 2022
In the era of artificial intelligence (AI), big data (BD), and digital transformation (DT), analytics students should gain the ability to solve business problems by integrating various methods. This teaching brief illustrates how two such methods--Bayesian analysis and Markov chains--can be combined to enhance student learning using the Analytics…

Yoshida, R.; Page, R. – PRIMUS, 2022
In the fall of 2009 and in the spring of 2012, supported by the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) in the National Institutes of Health (NIH), we designed a course "Phylogenetic Analysis and Molecular Evolution" (PAME), the first cross-listed course across three different colleges (College of Arts and Sciences,…

Hu, Jingchen – Journal of Statistics Education, 2020
We propose a semester-long Bayesian statistics course for undergraduate students with calculus and probability background. We cultivate students' Bayesian thinking with Bayesian methods applied to real data problems. We leverage modern Bayesian computing techniques not only for implementing Bayesian methods, but also to deepen students'…

Reinhart, Alex; Genovese, Christopher R. – Journal of Statistics and Data Science Education, 2021
Traditionally, statistical computing courses have taught the syntax of a particular programming language or specific statistical computation methods. Since Nolan and Temple Lang's seminal paper, we have seen a greater emphasis on data wrangling, reproducible research, and visualization. This shift better prepares students for careers working with…

Beckman, Matthew D.; Çetinkaya-Rundel, Mine; Horton, Nicholas J.; Rundel, Colin W.; Sullivan, Adam J.; Tackett, Maria – Journal of Statistics and Data Science Education, 2021
A version control system records changes to a file or set of files over time so that changes can be tracked and specific versions of a file can be recalled later. As such, it is an essential element of a reproducible workflow that deserves due consideration among the learning objectives of statistics courses. This article describes experiences and…

Zhang, Zhiyong; Zhang, Danyang – Grantee Submission, 2021
Data science has maintained its popularity for about 20 years. This study adopts a bottom-up approach to understand what data science is by analyzing the descriptions of courses offered by the data science programs in the United States. Through topic modeling, 14 topics are identified from the current curricula of 56 data science programs. These…
