Abstract:
|
CrunchIt is a web-based statistical software product for use in introductory statistics courses, developed by W.H. Freeman and Co. While its interface is extremely easy to use and requires nothing but a browser on the user's part, all CrunchIt calculations are carried out behind the scenes by R in real-time. As such, CrunchIt has access to R's immense computational and graphical capabilities. Furthermore, by optionally enabling the student to see the R commands triggered by each menu-based operation, CrunchIt provides a gentle exposure and entry-point to R and its use in statistical analysis. In this talk, I will demonstrate CrunchIt and share my experiences using it in an undergraduate introductory course at Texas A&M University.
