Data Science

Supported by grants from the ACM and Teagle Foundation, Adam Loy (formerly of Lawrence University, now Carleton College), Shonda Kuiper (Grinnell College) and I developed some RStudio tutorials and Case Studies to teach concepts in Data Science. These materials are available at Grinnell College: R Tutorials in Data Science. Or you can download these from Github (R Markdown files, data sets).
