Any further questions can be directed to Michael MacDougald <> The text differs from traditional texts in both content and pedagogy. Statistical inference is introduced using simulation-based methods in Chapter 1. This allows students to intuitively understand the process of inference from the very beginning of their course. Concepts of statistical inference are then explored for the entire text instead of only the last half of many traditional texts. Students are actively engaged in the material through numerous activities in which they flip coins, draw cards, collect data, do computer simulations and run experiments. Computer simulations are done with freely available applets. (See Efficacy Flyer for information on student performance.)
