Description
In this session each of three speakers will present a nontraditional topic that might fit well in an introductory mathematical statistics course at the level of the texts Mendenhall, Wackerly, and Scheaffer or Larsen and Marx. The topics include: the bootstrap, Bayesian methods, and logistic regression. Each speaker will give a brief description of one topic, explain how they introduce the topic to their students and how they integrate the material into their syllabus. Speakers may demonstrate activities they use with their students and provide exercises they use in homework assignments to reinforce the concepts taught.
