Abstract:

Various computer activities and computer simulations will be presented which support upper-division and master's level students in learning mathematical statistics topics. Some of the topics are (1) compare and evaluate different estimators, (2) choose a test statistic for a hypothesis test, (3) the applicability of asymptotic techniques for various finite sample sizes, and (4) the robustness of some statistical results against deviations from "necessary" assumptions.
