Title: Integrating Data Analysis with Parametric Inference in Undergraduate Statistics

Companies: Simon Fraser University
Address: Statistics and Actuarial Science, Burnaby, BC, V5A 1S6, Canada

Abstract:

A rising interest in graphical methods and resampling seems at odds with traditional parametric inference. The role of graphs is often portrayed as a supplementary technique for checking parametric assumptions, yet it deserves to be recognized as an independent method of analysis. The problem for the curriculum designer is to construct an appropriate merger of the two approaches for undergraduate courses. This session encourages discussion about ways to do this effectively.
