Title: Best of Both Worlds? Statistical Methods and Concepts in a Programming Class
Author(s): A. John Bailer*+
Companies: Miami University
Address: Dept of Math and Stat, Oxford, OH, 45056, United States
Keywords: Statistical Programming ; Web-based Courses
Abstract:

Statistical programming classes are available in many statistics degree programs. In fact, external reviewers are likely to note the absence of such a course when evaluating the statistical curriculum in a department. One possible goal when teaching a statistical programming class is to make the class rich in statistical content while presenting programming ideas. Experience with a course where programming ideas (e.g., conditional execution, looping) were coupled with statistical ideas not yet encountered in other classes (e.g., randomization tests, Monte Carlo methods) will be discussed. Logistical concerns including the use of a computer classroom and evaluation also will be presented.
