Title: Introducing Statistics with IntRo
Author(s): Andrea Kaplan* and Eric Hare
Companies: Iowa State University and Iowa State University
Keywords: intRo ; software ; shiny ; web-based ; interactive ; reactive
Abstract:

intRo is a modern web-based application for performing basic data analysis and statistical routines. Leveraging the power of R and Shiny, intRo implements common statistical functions in a powerful and extensible modular structure, while remaining simple enough for the novice statistician. This simplicity lends itself to a natural presentation in an introductory statistics course as a substitute for other commonly used statistical software packages, such as Excel and JMP. intRo is currently deployed at the URL http://www.intro-stats.com. In this talk, we describe the underlying design and functionality of intRo, including its extensible modular structure, illustrate its use with a live demo, and discuss future improvements that will enable a wider adoption of intRo in introductory statistics courses.

Authors who are presenting talks have a * after their name.
