Statistical Terminology in the Draft
Curriculum 30/1/2007 This note is intended to clarify the meaning of statistical terms used in the Draft Curriculum. "resampling" In the statistical context, resampling will most often refer to bootstrapping. Bootstrapping is a method for estimating the sampling distribution of an estimator by resampling with replacement from the original sample (Wikipedia). DVD: "Statistics in Research: A Visual Teaching Resource" The DVD: "Statistics in Research: A Visual Teaching Resource", created by John Harraway (University of Otago) and filmed at and subsequent to the NZSA 2005 Conference in Dunedin, is now available through the CASM Unit, University of Otago. It contains nine case studies, and has an accompanying data CD. See the linked pdf file for full details.
