The relative importance of invertebrate and microbial decomposition in a rainforest restoration project (2017)
Journal Article

© 2017 Society for Ecological Restoration Tropical rainforests are increasingly disturbed by human activities. While restoration projects often succeed in replacing tree cover, they rarely manage to restore soil function. Consequently, there is an ur...

Cross-sectional prevalence study of urinary and/or anal incontinence and its impact on quality of life in a cohort of individuals with progressive multiple sclerosis (2016)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Bladder and bowel problems are commonly reported among individuals with Multiple Sclerosis (MS). Urinary incontinence (UI) affects between 19 and 80% of individuals with MS dependent on the definition and measurement methods used (1). Less is known a...

Open access statistics resources (2016)
Journal Article

In this paper we illustrate an open access statistics resource related to the statistical activities involved in choosing and carrying out an appropriate one sample test for location (mean or median) on a randomly generated data set. The development... Read More about Open access statistics resources.

Using DEWIS and R for multi-staged statistics e-Assessments (2016)
Journal Article

© The Author 2015. We demonstrate how the DEWIS e-Assessment system may use embedded R code to facilitate the assessment of students' ability to perform involved statistical analyses. The R code has been written to emulate SPSS output and thus the st... Read More about Using DEWIS and R for multi-staged statistics e-Assessments.

Creating statistics e-assessments using Dewis with embedded R code (2016)
Journal Article

We report on the creation of statistics e-assessments using the Dewis system with embedded R code. Dewis is a fully algorithmic open-source e-assessment system designed and developed at the University of the West of England, Bristol (UWE). Dewis’ abi...

Using technology to inspire and enhance the learning of statistics in a large cohort of diverse ability (2015)
Book Chapter

In this paper we illustrate how we have used technology to teach and efficiently assess statistics within a Level 2 research skills module delivered to Business School students. The student cohort was a large diverse group of non-mathematicians and t... Read More about Using technology to inspire and enhance the learning of statistics in a large cohort of diverse ability.
