explanation of why we use computing in Statistics 101. You can download JMP-IN
on to your personal computer for free from the OIT software web
site.
Computer Labs
Each week we will have a computer
lab to explore further the principles of data analysis. The links below
go to each lab.
Advice
for being efficient in labs:
The first time you use a generic
data analysis tool (e.g., a histogram or regression), the lab instructions will
include the relevant JMP commands for using that tool. Subsequent labs
will use data analysis tools from previous labs, but instructions will not be
repeated. I recommend that you maintain a list of JMP commands for each analysis,
adding to it after each lab you complete. That way, you have a handy
reference sheet available, which will save you tremendous amounts of time when
doing the labs and the final project.
