Abstract:
|
A standard introductory statistics course barely touches techniques that are the bread and butter of practicing statisticians. One strategy that can help to align better practice with teaching is to emphasize modeling and regression. The panelists will describe their experiences doing this at different levels in the undergraduate curriculum, the challenges involved and the benefits that accrue, and ways to assess statistical learning in a regression-based approach.
