Calculus Assessment Scores

Source: R/AgainStart.R

Mathematical assessment scores for 36 students enrolled in a biostatistics course according to whether or not the students had successfully completed a calculus course prior to enrolling in the biostatistics course

CALCULUS

Format

A data frame with 36 observations on the following 2 variables:

  • score (assessment score for each student)

  • calculus (a factor with levels NO and YES for students who did not and did successfully complete calculus prior to enrolling in the biostatistics course)

Examples

# ggplot2 approach
ggplot(data = CALCULUS, aes(sample = score)) + stat_qq() + facet_grid(. ~ calculus)

ggplot(data = CALCULUS, aes(x = calculus, y = score, fill = calculus)) + geom_boxplot() + 
guides(fill = "none") + scale_fill_brewer()

ggplot(data = CALCULUS, aes(sample = score, color = calculus)) + stat_qq()

# lattice approach
qqmath(~score|calculus, data = CALCULUS)

qqmath(~score, group = calculus, type = c('p', 'r'), auto.key=TRUE, data = CALCULUS)
