Three New On-Line Courses from Statistics.Com


Introduction to Resampling Methods March 8 - April 2, 2004 introduces
the basic concepts and methods of statistics via resampling methods.
Participants will learn to use R or Resampling Stats to do interval

number of other most-powerful unbiased statistical procedures. The
goal of the course is to give participants the confidence and tools
necessary for the practice of resampling methods in their own research
and in interpreting the research of others. Software is provided.
