Lecture Recordings
Lecture recordings are only available for IDS students via the University of Edinburgh virtual learning environment. To access the recordings, go to the Introduction to Data Science area on LEARN ULTRA and select Lecture Recordings under the Course Content section. This will open echovideo where you will find a list of all lecture recordings to watch once they become available.

Tasks

  1. Watch the Videos and readings.
  2. Attend the workshop.
  3. Complete the Assignments.

Videos and readings

Some of this material is required and some of it is optional. We expect you to watch the required videos and read the required reading. This required material is part of the course so it may be assessed in the assignments and it may not be covered in the lectures. The optional material is extra reading for those that are interested!

IMS: Chp 12 - Confidence intervals with bootstrapping Required
ModernDive: Chp 7 - Sampling Optional
ModernDive: Chp 8 - Bootstrapping and Confidence Intervals Optional
ISM: Chp 3 - Confidence intervals via Bootstrapping Optional
Bootstrapping Supplementary Recording Required
StatQuest: Bootstrapping main ideas Optional

**Note**: the ModernDive chapters are a longer read, but contains some useful details on how to use `tidyverse` for bootstrapping, so if you want to read more on the topic, we recommend you focus on Chapters 8.4.2, 8.4.3 and 8.5. Also, please note that the code examples in Chapter 3 from ISM rely on R packages different from the ones shown in class.

Workshop

The lab sheet can be accessed the day before the workshop, and the solutions the day after the workshop.
