Teaching statistics to medical undergraduates using interactive and participatory sessions

Introduction: In India, medical undergraduates think that statistics is difficultto understand. Often, it is taught just before final assessment examinationusing didactic lectures, with little use of medical examples and less focus onapplication. Hence, we prepared interactive, participatory sessions for teachingbiostatistics to medical undergraduate.Methods: The sessions were delivered by a fa...

Interactive 3D Graphics for Tcl

This paper presents an approach to integrate interactive real-time 3D graphics into the scripting language Tcl. 3D graphics libraries are typically implemented in system programming languages such as C or C++ in order to be type safe and fast. We have developed a technique that analyzes the C++ application programming interface of such a library and maps it to appropriate scripting commands and...

Reactive Programming for Interactive Graphics

One of the big challenges of developing interactive statistical applications is the management of the data pipeline, which controls transformations from data to plot. The user’s interactions needs to be propagated through these modules and reflected in the output representation at a fast pace. Each individual module may be easy to develop and manage, but the dependency structure can be quite ch...

Software for Statistics for Physics

I discuss two workshops held in 2004 and 2005 relevant to the software environment for statistical analysis in physics and astrophysics. The first largely explored the R environment used by statisticians and the Root environment widely used in particle physics and related fields. The second was a step towards starting a repository for software useful in statistical analyses for these fields. I ...
