Resources

The biostats team have written a series of books (“Enough R to write a thesis”), apps, and tutorials that we will use in Bio300B

Biostats Books

The Biostats books emphasis reproducible research.

Working in R

Working in R logo

Learn how to import, manipulate and visualise data with our working in R book. After an introduction to R, this book has a tidyverse flavour, showing how to manipulate data with dplyr and make publishable plots with ggplot2. It includes lots of exercises to hone your skills.

Reproducible documents with R

Quarto markdown logo

Learn how to write reproducible documents (anything from a course assignment to a thesis or manuscript) in quarto: no more copy-paste nightmares. Quarto is the successor to R markdown.

Biostats apps and tutorials

We have developed interactive learnr tutorials for

  • naming objects
  • dates and times
  • mathematical notation on plots

and shiny apps to explore some statistical concepts.

These can be installed from biostats apps and learnr tutorials with

# install remotes if you don't have it already
# install.packages("remotes")
remotes::install_github("biostats-r/biostats.tutorials")
