The Section on Teaching of Statistics in the Health Sciences (TSHS) is devoted to excellence in teaching statistics and conducting statistics education research in the health sciences. The Section aims to facilitate communication and joint activities among professionals interested in teaching statistical methods and concepts to audiences in the health sciences. The Young Investigator Award is an annual award. This award recognizes a promising "young investigator" for his/her promise as a statistics educator or in conducting statistics education research in the health sciences.
Paper for review was the online R book: "Mastering Health Data Science Using R". This book serves as an interactive introduction to R for public health and health data science students. Topics include data structures in R, exploratory analysis, distributions, hypothesis testing, regression analysis, and larger scale programming with functions and control flows. The presentation assumes knowledge with the underlying methodology and focuses instead on how to use R to implement your analysis.
