I am working on innovative approaches to introducing Bayesian statistics in the undergraduate statistics curriculum.
Book Projects:
Albert, J. and Hu, J. (2019), “Probability and Bayesian Modeling”, Texts in Statistical Science, Chapman & Hall CRC Press. Text website
Teaching and learning materials:
- A GitHub repo on Vassar’s Bayesian Statistics course material (lectures, labs, homework, cases studies etc.)
- I maintain a GitHub repo on various resources for undergraduate Bayesian education – let me know if you have recommended material to be added to the repo!
Presentations:
- “Using CE Microdata in Undergraduate Statistics Courses”, 2019 Consumer Expenditure Surveys (CE) Microdata Users’ Workshop. Washington D.C., July 2019 (slide deck)
- “Teaching an Undergraduate Bayesian Statistics Course”, Statistical Science Department Seminar, Duke University, NC, December 2017
