DRAFT -- IN PROGRESS -- IGNORE

Welcome to the StatsGaps StudyGroup page -- a set of suggested learning pathways making use of course resources produced by community data faculty, meant to be used by folks who have a mixture of familiarity and non-familiarity with R, statistics, and research processes. The primary text is: [Open Intro to Statistics]

Follow the strand(s) that apply to you:

  • Learn R -- you don't know R
  • Learn Stats -- you haven't taken much if any statistics, or otherwise feel you're mostly starting from scratch
  • Refresh -- overview and shore up your stats knowledge if it feels rusty
  • Stronger -- your stats knowledge is strong but your class stopped before you got to good stuff you see used in lots of the papers in this group, like regression)
