Introduction to Statistical Investigations, Loose-Leaf Print Companion
Auteurs : Tintle Nathan, Chance Beth L., Cobb George W., Rossman Allan J., Roy Soma, Swanson Todd, VanderStoep Jill
It focuses on genuine research studies, active learning, and effective use of technology. Simulations and randomization tests introduce statistical inference, yielding a strong conceptual foundation that bridges students to theory-based inference approaches. Repetition allows students to see the logic and scope of inference. This implementation follows the GAISE recommendations endorsed by the American Statistical Association.
