An Active Learning Approach to Teach Advanced Multi-Predictor Modeling Concepts to Clinicians
Samsa, Gregory P.; Thomas, Laine; Lee, Linda S.; Neal, Edward M.
Journal of Statistics Education, v20 n1 2012

We describe an active-learning based approach that shows particular promise for accommodating these characteristics. (Contains 1 table.)
