Abstract:

A major focus in teaching courses in statistics, measurement, and design should be the analysis of data. Results can be used to illustrate key concepts underlying the procedures discussed, help students learn how to analyze their own data, aid in interpreting and presenting research results, and contribute to preparing future researchers. This paper presents information on a multitude of data sets applicable for teaching courses at multiple levels, from introductory statistical analysis through regression, ANOVA, multivariate, and advanced measurement. The accompanying CD contains over 100 datasets from a variety of fields and will be distributed free of charge. The datasets on the CD are either public use datasets or Monte Carlo computer generated datasets and are in a format ready for use in statistics courses.
