A workshop on "Teaching the Statistical Investigation Process with
Simulation- and Randomization-Based Inference" will be held at Mesa
Community College on Friday, March 6 and Saturday, March 7, 2015. The
goals of this workshop are to help participants to revise their
introductory statistics course in two ways:
1. Using randomization-based methods, as opposed to methods based on the
normal distribution, to introduce concepts of statistical inference, and
2. Emphasizing the overarching process of conducting statistical
investigations, from formulating a question and collecting data through
exploring data and drawing inferences to communicating results,
throughout the course.
Workshop presenters will be Beth Chance, Allan Rossman, Soma Roy, Nicola
Justice, and Anelise Sabbag. Supported by a grant from the National
Science Foundation led by Nathan Tintle, this workshop is free but does
require advance registration. More information and the registration form
can be found at:
