Using a custom R package to facilitate teaching
July 19, 2021
Online Symposium, Department of Psychology, Lancaster University
In this talk, I describe how we have used a custom R package, psyntur
,
to facilitate teaching statistics using R in the Psychology Department
at Nottingham Trent University. I
describe our initial motivation for using a custom R package, our
initial objectives for the package, the general objections to using a
custom package, our response to these objections. Then, I will provide a
brief overview of the package, and some unexpected practical issues we
faced when using it.
