Solved – Statistics/Probability Videos for Beginners

Question

There was already a request for Mathematical Statistics Videos, but it explicitly asked from people for

videos that provide a rigorous
mathematical presentation of
statistics. i.e., videos that might
accompany a course that use a textbook
mentioned in this discussion on…

So at the same time I am wondering, what recommendation do you have for stat/prob – 101 – video courses?

Answer 1

I think a number of the suggestions put forward on the mathematical statistics video question probably fall in the stats 101 category:

• http://www.khanacademy.org/#Statistics: series of short videos on introductory statistics
• http://www.khanacademy.org/#Probability: series of short videos on introductory probability
• Math and probability for life sciences: A whole university course introducing statistics and probability.
• I also have a list of maths and statistics videos with a few others.

The Stat 579 Videos on statistical computing in R are also quite good:

• http://connect.extension.iastate.edu/p45341752/
• http://connect.extension.iastate.edu/p39131597/
• Factor & reshaping data
• Debugging & data aggregation
• Data aggregation & maps
• Data aggregation & maps (copy?)
• LaTeX and Sweave
• Random numbers, basic Simulations
• Permutations & data from the web
• Text & Patterns
• Databases
