Fuller's List of Statistical Lists A number of other e-mail discussion
lists are maintained for specific countries (e.g. Australia, Brazil,
Italy, New Zealand), statistical topics (e.g. Bayesian methods,
experimental design, time series analysis), subject areas (e.g.
biometry, geography, econometrics), and software packages (e.g.
Minitab, SPSS, SAS).
We'll divide our look at Web data into different types of resources:
DASL
The Dataset and Story Library - a collection of datasets and related documentation
(stories) which may be searched by data
subjects or by statistical
techniques.
Journal
of Statistics Education Data Archive Datasets contributed by statistics
teachers. Raw data are in a .dat file with explanations a .doc file. Many
of these datasets are tied to longer JSE articles discussing their use
in statistics classes.
Statlib
Dataset Archive One of the original (and still best) sources for archived
data.
CHANCE Project Datasets Data from recent media coverage of current events. Only a few datasets here, but many excellent references to teaching applications of statistics in the news can be found at the main CHANCE page.
SICL - Statistics Instructional Computing Laboratory Datasets sponsored by the Statistics Dept. at N.C. State.
Minitab
Worksheet Files collected by Dennis Roberts at Penn State.
Datasets
in Excel, NCSS, or tab-delimited ASCII, with suggestions for appropriate
statistical topics - part of an excellent set of resources for Exploring
Data produced Rex Boggs.
