Computer-Assisted Statistics TextbooksA collection of e-books with data and scenarios to illustrate fundamental/landmark concepts in traditional statistics. E-books have three different themes with data and scenarios based on the chosen topic area. Additional e-books cover advanced topics, like statistics for educators (grading with bell-curves, etc.) and univariate regression. Most pages have animations, simulations and dynamic displays, although the aesthetic of the site remains dated.

13/12/2012 07:41:08Visualisation: Visual representations of data and information
How many times a day do you hear it said that we are drowning in a sea of information? As the cost of computer data storage goes down, it becomes easier and cheaper to store ever more data about ever more things, from corporate information to personal data – yet how are we ever to make sense of all this data and uncover some of the potentially valuable information it contains?
Visualisation can help. This is because, of all the human senses, the visual sense is one of the most powerful. In this unit, you will learn how to interpret, and in some cases create, visual representations of data and information that display a wide range of data sets in a meaningful way.
This is an adapted extract from the Open University course Communication and information technologies (T215).

Coursera: Data AnalysisThis course is an applied statistics course focusing on data analysis. The course will begin with an overview of how to organize, perform, and write-up data analyses. Then we will cover some of the most popular and widely used statistical methods like linear regression, principal components analysis, cross-validation, and p-values. Instead of focusing on mathematical details, the lectures will be designed to help you apply these techniques to real data using the R statistical programming language, interpret the results, and diagnose potential problems in your analysis. You will also have the opportunity to critique and assist your fellow classmates with their data analyses.
