Online Sources for Statistics and Statistical Analysis

In summary, the conversation discusses various online resources for statistics, including the StatSoft Electronic Textbook, Elementary Concepts in Statistics, Basic Statistics, and a course on experimental research in atmospheric science. The focus is on data analysis techniques and methods, with some attention given to experimental design. The conversation also mentions the Mathworld website, which provides information on the Gaussian or Normal Distribution, and the US Census and China statistics websites, which offer a large number of tables on various topics.

The Analysis of Observations with applications in atmospheric science
http://www.asp.ucar.edu/colloquium/1992/notes/part1/node1.html

William A. Cooper

with chapters by:

Thomas W. Schlatter
Tzvi Gal-Chen and David B. Parsons

1.1 Scope
This course surveys the methodology and tools of experimental research in atmospheric science. This volume, Part 1, treats topics that are general and applicable to most experimental science: how to interpret measurements, test hypotheses, and design experiments. The focus is on the analysis of experimental data, with lesser attention to the design of experiments. Analysis techniques will be treated first, and design of experiments toward the end of the text, because experimental design must take into account the possible ways in which the data can be used.

Most of this material in Part 1 is presented in a format resembling a user's handbook, with corresponding weaknesses in the mathematical justifications and foundations. Some references to the extensive literature on these subjects are included to fill these gaps, but the target audience is those who will use these methods in experimental research so their practical needs are emphasized. This choice has led to a primary emphasis on techniques and methods, in many cases with only enough formal justification to provide a sense of the validity and applicability of the methods described.

Related to Online Sources for Statistics and Statistical Analysis

1. What is an online source for statistics and statistical analysis?

An online source for statistics and statistical analysis is a website or platform that provides access to data and tools for analyzing and interpreting statistical information. These sources can range from government databases and academic research websites to data visualization platforms and statistical software.

2. How can I use online sources for statistics and statistical analysis?

Online sources for statistics and statistical analysis can be used for a variety of purposes, such as conducting research, making data-driven decisions, and creating visual representations of data. They often provide tools for data manipulation, visualization, and statistical modeling, allowing users to explore and analyze data in a user-friendly way.

3. Are online sources for statistics and statistical analysis reliable?

The reliability of online sources for statistics and statistical analysis can vary. It is important to carefully evaluate the source and consider factors such as the credibility of the organization or individual providing the data, the methods used for data collection and analysis, and potential biases. It is also helpful to consult multiple sources and cross-reference information.

4. Are there any limitations to using online sources for statistics and statistical analysis?

Like any source of information, there are some limitations to using online sources for statistics and statistical analysis. These can include incomplete or outdated data, potential biases, and limitations in the tools and methods provided for analysis. It is important to carefully consider these limitations and use multiple sources to get a more comprehensive understanding of the data.

5. Is there a cost associated with using online sources for statistics and statistical analysis?

Some online sources for statistics and statistical analysis may require a subscription or payment for access, while others may be freely available. It is important to research and compare different sources to find the best option for your needs and budget. Additionally, many academic institutions and organizations may have access to certain sources through library subscriptions.
