Biostatistics resources

There are many useful projects over at our department’s Biostatistics Resources page, including:

• HPC tutorial: A hands-on tutorial for learning how to use the high-performance computing (HPC) resources at the University of Iowa.
• Math review: A guide intended to review of fundamental math concepts for students who will be starting an MS or PhD program in biostatistics.
• Data sets: A collection of data sets intended to be used for teaching or for illustrating methodology on real data.
• Thesis template: A template for writing a LaTeX thesis that conforms to University of Iowa formatting guidelines.

and more.

GWAS tutorial

Here is a link to a hands-on tutorial for carrying out genome-wide association studies (GWAS) using R. This has been co-developed by myself and several of my graduate students over the years. Current status: there’s enough here to be useful, for sure, but definitely still a work in progress in a state of ongoing development.

Big data lab

Here is a lab titled “Working with big data in genomics” that I have given for our Iowa Summer Institute in Biostatistics students.

SAS Macro tutorial

Here is a presentation/tutorial I have given a few times on SAS Macros.
