StatSoft's Electronic Statistics Textbook

February 17, 1998

---------------------------------This Electronic Statistical Textbook (Statistics Homepage) offers training
in the understanding and application of statistics. The material was developed
at the StatSoft R&D department based on many years of teaching undergraduate
and graduate statistics courses and covers a wide variety of applications,
including laboratory research (biomedical, agricultural, etc.), business
statistics and forecasting, social science statistics and survey research,
data mining, engineering and quality control applications, and many others.
The Electronic Textbook begins with an overview of the relevant elementary
(pivotal) concepts and continues with a more in depth exploration of specific
areas of statistics, organized by "modules," accessible by buttons, representing
classes of analytic techniques. A glossary of statistical terms and a list of
references for further study are included.
