StatPREP Consulting Day!

Wednesday April 17, 2019, any time during the day.

With the increasing number of StatPREP participants — both those who have participated in workshops and those who encounter StatPREP via our web site — we have found that it can be helpful to offer one-on-one consulting with StatPREP authors and workshop leaders.

Perhaps you’re intrigued by a Little App, but aren’t quite sure how it works, or what are the underlying statistical concepts, or how you would use it in class? Consult with us!

March 27, 2019 Webinar

Using the Little App “Linear Models”

The webinar will present a Little App called Linear Models, formally Regression and Smoothers. This is the first look at the redesign of the Little Apps. This Little App will allow teachers and students to pick between 4 different datasets and then particular variables to investigate a linear regression model between the variables. The webinar will show how to use the Little App in your courses to introduce and investigate regression.

The webinar will be presented on Wednesday March 27, 2019 at 11:00 am EST, 10 am CDT, 9 am MDT, 8 am PDT and Arizona time. To register for the webinar, please click on the link https://zoom.us/j/208841290.
