Software Resources for Data Desk
Below is a list of resource pages for using Data Desk to do statistics. On each page a set of data are explored with the software. Some commentary is given on interpretation but the main focus is on getting the software to do the work. What the numbers mean should come from your prior statistical training or the statistics.com course you are currently taking. Each page listed below has a title you can click on to read the page. Beneath the title is a list of topics covered on that page.
