Here is a compilation of the answers I received to my question about teaching materials for a biostats course based on R. I also added resources I found searching the web: Ron Burns sent links to Jack Weiss? courses at University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill http://www.unc.edu/courses/2007spring/enst/562/001/docs/lectures.htm http://www.unc.edu/courses/2008fall/ecol/563/001/docs/lectures.htm http://www.unc.edu/courses/2006spring/ecol/145/001/docs/lectures.htm Richie Erickson pointed me to Stephen Cox?s course: Statistical Applications in Environmental Toxicology http://www.tiehh.ttu.edu/scox/Site/Stats.html David Roberts pointed me to his own material at http://ecology.msu.montana.edu/labdsv/R/ Alain Zuur pointed me to datasets that accompany his books at http://www.highstat.com/books.htm These are all real data sets (coming from PhD projects of commercial projects). They are fully worked out in the case study chapters of: Analysing Ecological Data (2007). Zuur, AF, Ieno, EN and Smith, GM. Springer. 680 p. URL: www.springer.com/0-387-45967-7 Mixed effects models and extensions in ecology with R. (2009). Zuur, AF, Ieno, EN, Walker, N, Saveliev, AA, and Smith, GM. Springer. http://www.springer.com/life+sci/ecology/book/978-0-387-87457-9 Dave Roberts pointed me to his lab pages: http://ecology.msu.montana.edu/labdsv/R ?It's primarily for multivariate analysis in community ecology, bit does also have some stuff on GLMs and GAMS in an ecological context.? When time permits, Glen Sargeant teaches workshops on the use of R for ecological data analysis. Folks who would like to schedule or attend a workshop are welcome to contact him (gsargeant at usgs.gov). David G. Rossiter has some notes on statistical methods in R up on the web: http://www.itc.nl/personal/rossiter/pubs/list.html#pubs_m_R I found course material by Stephen B. Cox to be helpful http://www.tiehh.ttu.edu/scox/Site/Courses.html and by Duncan Temple Lang http://www.stat.ucdavis.edu/~duncan/teaching.html and by Hadley Wickham http://had.co.nz/ and by Ross Ihaka http://www.stat.auckland.ac.nz/~stat782/?Statistics_782 and by John Fox http://socserv.mcmaster.ca/jfox/Courses/R-course/index.html http://socserv.mcmaster.ca/jfox/Courses/UCLA/index.html and by Roger Peng http://www.biostat.jhsph.edu/~rpeng/biostat776/ and by Petra Kuhnert http://www.csiro.au/resources/Rcoursenotes.html Volker Bahn Wright State University
