Wilson Lin - Personal Website

My name is Wilson Lin and welcome to my website!

On this website you’ll find articles about statistics and some older articles that I’ve written.

In addition to these articles, I have created several interactive apps using R Shiny shown below

List of apps

Note: All apps on this page are made for educational purposes only.

Hypothesis tests

• Standard tests
  • One sample test – basic hypothesis test based on Binomial proportion or t-test
  • Two sample test – hypothesis tests for difference between means
  • Paired test – hypothesis test for two paired samples
• Experimental design – various tests for experiments

Regression

• Partial residual and added variable plots – for studying variable relationships in a linear regression
• Symbol, pairs and box plots – another app for studying variable relationships in a linear regression

Other statistics

• Discrete Conjugates – Bayesian discrete conjugate distributions
• Normal Conjugate – Bayesian normal conjugate distribution
• Distribution explorer – simulates what different probability distributions look like (based on those in-built in R)
• Outlier – this app tries to identify outliers in time series

Special projects

• Bayes – investigate the use of Bayes Theorem for looking into the intentionality behind unusual events
• NBA Mock Draft Simulator – input in a list and figure out whether you should trade your picks in a H2H points-based fantasy sports league (not limited to the NBA)
• Socks – an app that uses Approximate Bayesian Computation to try to estimate the solution to Karl Broman’s “Sock Problem”
