Data Presentation

This interactive tutorial on Linear Regression helps the user understand the definition of linear regression, understand the meaning of correlation, use scatter plots, recognize and calculate errors in linear regression, use simple linear regression analysis, use residual analysis of the regression equation, understand the significance of the correlation coefficient and the regression coefficient in linear regression, and solve exercise problems using linear regression.

This interactive tutorial on Exponential Smoothing helps learners understand the use of exponential smoothing, define exponential smoothing, cite the merits and demerits of exponential smoothing, and solve exercise problems using exponential smoothing.

This free online video program "lays out the parts of the confidence interval and gives an example of how it is used to measure the accuracy of long-term mean blood pressure. An example from politics and population surveys shows how margin of error and confidence levels are interpreted. The program also explains the use of a formula to convert the z* values into values on the sampling distribution curve. Finally, the concepts are applied to an issue of animal ethics."

As described on the page itself: "The simulation shows a scatterplot of data from a bivariate distribution in which the relationship between the two variables is linear. You can change the "input" values of slope, standard error of the estimate, or standard deviation of X for this data sample, and see the effects of your change. "
