# oi_biostat_labs

#### Summary

This repository contains `R` labs that accompany the *OpenIntro Biostatistics* textbook. These labs complement the conceptual material discussed in detail in the text by introducing statistical computing with `R` and `R Markdown`.

Each lab consists of a handout file with background information and problem statements, a solutions file with fully worked solutions and `R` code, and a template `.Rmd` file containing the basic structure to generate a file similar to the solutions file. The template is optimized for generating a PDF document.

We recommend that a full installation of TeX be downloaded before using the labs.

The `.Rmd` source for the handout and solutions files are also available, and may be of use to instructors.

Most of the datasets used in the labs can be accessed from the `oibiostat` `R` package; instructions are provided for downloading any additional datasets. To install the `oibiostat` package from GitHub:

```r
install.packages("devtools")
library(devtools)
devtools::install_github("OI-Biostat/oi_biostat_data")
```

#### User's Note

These labs were initially developed for a classroom setting, but can also be helpful for those interested in an independent learning experience. After working through these labs, a user will have a basic familiarity with conducting data analysis and visualization with `R` and generating reproducible reports with `R Markdown`.

Unit 0 contains two short tutorials for getting started with `R` and `R Markdown`: `00_intro_to_R.pdf` and `01_intro_to_Rmd.Rmd`. Subsequent units correspond to the chapters in *OpenIntro Biostatistics*. Each lab consists of three files: a handout file, a template file, and a solutions file.

- The handout file (`.pdf`) contains background information and problem statements. An instructor might choose to provide printed handout files to students so they can easily reference the problem statements while working through the labs.

- The template file (`.Rmd`) contains space for entering answers (both plain text writing and code) along with additional guidance related to `R` and `R Markdown` syntax. When compiled, the template generates a PDF document.

- The solutions file (`.pdf`) contains fully worked solutions and code.

Each unit contains a 'Lab Notes' file (`.pdf`) that gives a high-level overview of the labs and provides detailed explanations of the `R` programming used in each lab.
