Abstract: CougarStats is a free, and open-source R Shiny application designed to conduct statistical data analysis. CougarStats aims to simplify statistical concepts and foster learning with a user-friendly browser-based interface. In the context of statistical education, there is a need for intuitive and comprehensive tools that are accessible to a wide range of users, from students to instructors.
CougarStats is designed to address this need, providing a platform to conduct statistical data analysis across a growing list of topics while presenting detailed calculations. Current pedagogical topics include Descriptive Statistics, Probability Distributions, Sample Size Estimation, Statistical Inference, Simple Linear Regression, and Correlation Analysis.
CougarStats is currently hosted at https://www.cougarstats.ca. The application is designed using education principles to balance simplicity with analytical depth, and uses an Agile approach in its development to consistently refine functionality and incorporate user feedback.
The current stage of its development involves incorporating advanced statistical concepts, such as Analysis of Variance (ANOVA), Nonparametric Statistics, Time-Series Analysis, Multiple Linear Regression and Logistic Regression. In addition, the goal is to start distributing the application to a wider audience to gather feedback on future functionality as well as ways of optimizing the current suite of tools. As a result of these continued efforts, CougarStats will be presented to the educational community as the preeminent open-source statistical analysis tool in Statistics and Data Science courses. In conclusion, CougarStats represents a significant step towards empowering students in understanding and critically evaluating statistical results.
