Given some recent enquiries to both lists, I thought I should share this with you all.

Subject: Superb videos introducing statistical ideas

 

I have just come across a superb site for teaching quantitative methods.  Statistics Learning Centre is based in New Zealand and consists of an amazing set of video tutorials ranging from absolute beginner level to more advanced.

 

The full list of videos is on Stats Videos (students)

 

The first three I looked at seem to date from a year or so ago (where were we all then?) to a week ago (Bootstrapping).

 

The ones I found first were (should be viewed in this order) were:

 

1:  Types of Data: Nominal, Ordinal, Interval/Ratio - Statistics Help 96’20”)

2:  Choosing which statistical test to use - statistics help (9'33")

3:  Understanding the p-value - Statistics Help (4'43")

 

These explain basic statistical concepts to anyone, not just social science students.  Anyone who can’t follow them shouldn’t perhaps be taking an undergraduate course in any discipline, let alone the social sciences.  The narration is clear, explanations are gentle, graphics are helpful and fun, and the examples relevant to everyone (unless you don’t like chocolate).

 

Must find out who Dr Nic is: she’s wonderful.

Thanks

I've just viewed a couple of them (intro to confidence intervals and Hypothesis tests with p-values), and think they're quite good at explaining the material.  Unfortunately, the hypothesis testing video directs viewers to use Excel for the analysis.
