There are a number of resources out there for learning statistics. This is not going to be an exhaustive list but here are a few that I am aware of.
Statlib
This is a really old website, do not expect anything fancy as you would on more modern ones but it is a repository of all things statistical from the community over the years. There is therefore a lot of stuff on it; for instance they have a
large data archive with many data set available for download. Many of these are published data sets that go with specific books. There are also a
R Archive and also a
S Archive but plenty
other software as well
Pmean
This is where Steve's Attempt to Teach Statistics(StATS) is now housed. Steve Simon who created both this site and the former site (StATS) is a statistical consultant but spent many years working at the Mercy Children's hospital and training medical researchers there in the use of statistics. There are many pages on that website but just to give you a flavour, he has a
page linking to teaching resources, so you can see whether the free stats books are any good.
StatSoft Text book
Statsoft developed
Statistica but they also have provided a
free textbook on line which covers a wide variety of topics and I often end up there when I need to give a student a reference to something in particular. No it does not require you to buy Statistica
Rice Virtual Lab in Statistics
Another website that is useful they have
another text book but even better are some of
their demonstrations and even better I find they also have
case studies which look to me as it they might have come out of Glasgow's STEPS initiative.
Scholarship of Learning and Teaching Statistics at Glasgow
A long time ago, before all the E-Science initiative or event the teaching centres of excellence before that there was a group of people in Glasgow who were experts on developing teaching software for statistics. They might not be so high profile these days but
they still exist . It is worth checking them out occasionally.
