I post my teaching materials for the course of Biological Statistics in the University of Chinese Academy of Sciences. There are 13 pdf files in total, each for a three-hour-long lecture. In 2006, about 40% of the contents are from Zar’s book (Zar 1999), and about 10% from Sokal and Rohlf’s book (Sokal & Rohlf 1995), and the teaching materials of my previous supervisors David Schneider and Matt Litvak, as well as some of my own thoughts. In 2007, I cited a number of points from Quinn and Keough’s book (Quinn & Keough 2002). This book is not as classic as Zar’s or Sokal and Rohlf’s textbooks, yet it is deeper. In 2011, I gave up SAS and started to use R for teaching. I borrowed a number of examples from Crawley’s R book (Crawley2012) and Zuur’s series books (Zuur et al. 2009a; Zuur et al. 2009b; Zuur et al. 2007). Those books are very easy to digest as they provide R codes along with the well explained theories. Beside, Wikipedia and R help documents are also valuable sources for my teaching. In recent years I gradually put my own studies in the teaching materials, especially for generalized linear models and machine learning. I changed about 15% of my teaching materials every year. Now 11 years past, Zar and Sokal & Rohlf’s stuff remains less than 5%. The 13 files accumulatively cost me about 1500 hours since 2006.
I thank Dianmo Li, David Schneider, and Matt Litvak, who taught me biostatistics, and allowed me to use their cases and materials for teaching.
