Thank you all for the responses.

Terence, is there a cost for using the Amazon API?

2020-03-29 Thread Manuel Spínola
Dear list members,

I am looking for a way to make interactive homeworks o exams when teaching
statistics in R.

I have been looking on the package gradethis but I do not see how this
package works in the way that I am looking for.

I am looking for something that you can send to the students and the
student send it back to you and you can grade the homework or exam in a an
interactive way.

I am planning to make teaching material for data analysis in R.  I am
trying to decide which output will be better. Html, pdf or powepoint.

I found that flexdashboard could have the potential to make the material in
html output which could include interactive graphs and tables.

Any insight on this?

[R-sig-teaching] learnr o similar package to make questions

2017-12-09 Thread Manuel Spínola
Dear list members,

I would like to use learnr o a similar package to make questions but
without to set the correct answer.  Apparently, in learnr you need to set a
correct answer, but the downside is that the user can see the right answer
to the question.

Is there any alternative to this problem?

Re: [R-sig-teaching] Books on R-programming for newbies

2012-03-15 Thread Manuel Spínola
Hi Dagfinn,

I suggest:   Rob Kabacoff. R in Action. Manning, 2010.

Best,

Manuel

2012/3/15 Dagfinn Rime dagfinn.r...@gmail.com

 Dear all,

 I'm new to R and need to learn how to program R, and would appreciate
 suggestions for e.g. two books in order to get going.

 What type of books? Well, if I were to suggest books for a newcomer to
 LaTeX I would say that all you need is Lamport's book and The LaTeX
 Companion (2nd ed). Is there something similar for R? A not-too long
 introductory book and one more comprehensive reference-like book?

 My level?
 * Statistics? I have a PhD in finance and know applied
 statistics/econometrics
 * Programming? I currently do all my analysis via programming
 (scripting) in SAS or Eviews.

 The R-project page mention 115 books? I made notice of the following:
 1. Paul Teetor. R Cookbook. O'Reilly, first edition, 2011
 2. Rob Kabacoff. R in Action. Manning, 2010.
 3. David Ruppert. Statistics and Data Analysis for Financial
 Engineering. Use R! Springer, 2010
 4. Alain F. Zuur, Elena N. Ieno, and Erik Meesters. A Beginner's Guide
 to R. Use R. Springer, 2009

 From Amazon the following caught my attention:
 1. R in a Nutshell (In a Nutshell (O'Reilly))
 2. The R Book by Michael J. Crawley

 I have probably missed some (many), and there are probably lots of
 different views. But I would appreciate any guidance and views.

 Thanks in advance,
