Burr, Wesley; Chevalier, Fanny; Collins, Christopher; Gibbs, Alison L; Ng, Raymond; Wild, Chris J – Teaching Statistics: An International Journal for Teachers, 2021
In 2010, Nolan and Temple Lang proposed "integration of computing concepts into statistics curricula at all levels." The unprecedented growth in data and emphasis on data science has provided an impetus to finally realizing full implementations of this in new statistics and data science programs and courses. We discuss a proposal for the…

Brusco, Michael – INFORMS Transactions on Education, 2022
Logistic regression is one of the most fundamental tools in predictive analytics. Graduate business analytics students are often familiarized with implementation of logistic regression using Python, R, SPSS, or other software packages. However, an understanding of the underlying maximum likelihood model and the mechanics of estimation are often…

Fleischer, Yannik; Biehler, Rolf; Schulte, Carsten – Statistics Education Research Journal, 2022
This study examines modelling with machine learning. In the context of a yearlong data science course, the study explores how upper secondary students apply machine learning with Jupyter Notebooks and document the modelling process as a computational essay incorporating the different steps of the CRISP-DM cycle. The students' work is based on a…

Dogucu, Mine; Çetinkaya-Rundel, Mine – Journal of Statistics and Data Science Education, 2022
It is recommended that teacher-scholars of data science adopt reproducible workflows in their research as scholars and teach reproducible workflows to their students. In this article, we propose a third dimension to reproducibility practices and recommend that regardless of whether they teach reproducibility in their courses or not, data science…

Schwab-McCoy, Aimee; Baker, Catherine M.; Gasper, Rebecca E. – Journal of Statistics and Data Science Education, 2021
In the past 10 years, new data science courses and programs have proliferated at the collegiate level. As faculty and administrators enter the race to provide data science training and attract new students, the road map for teaching data science remains elusive. In 2019, 69 college and university faculty teaching data science courses and…
