JAVA Demonstrations

The emergence of JAVA as a platform-independent Web programming language has encouraged individuals to develop interactive demonstration software which can be accessed over the Web. NOTE: Although you can link to these sites with almost any Web browser, you must use a JAVA-capable browser to see and execute the applets.

The sites below contain collections of links to JAVA applets at various locations which are relevant to statistics instruction.

Globally Accessible Statistical Procedures (GASP) collected at the Univ. of South Carolina.
Interesting JAVA Applets compiled at Duke University.
Programs Browsers Can Run collected at the CHANCE course website.

Some other JAVA-based statistics sites:

JAVA Applets by Balasubramanian Narasimhan at Stanford University.
SurfStat JAVA Applet Hotlist - part of the on-line textbook at University of Newcastle.
Visual Statistics by Gary McClelland at the University of Colorado (pending publication).

Some of our favorite individual JAVA applets (selected from the sites listed above):

Histogram - check the effect of bin size on Old Faithful data (Webster West - S. Carolina).
Regression - see the effects of adding an outlier (Webster West - S. Carolina).
Correlation Guess - Match correlations with four scatterplots (Illinois-Urbana-Champaign)
Effect of a "Small" Effect - visualization of the impact of a difference in group means on job candidate selection (Mark Lane - Rice).

A couple of JAVA-based on-line stat packages

Statiscope - a one page univariate stat pakage (Mikael Bonnier - Lund, Sweden).
Webstat - being developed by Webster West (& others?) at South Carolina.
