Online statistical texts

Statistics at Square One, via the British Medical Journal (BMJ) website. Also see the list (and full text) of the statistics note series published in the same journal.

Online statistics notes by G David Garson at North Carolina State University.

InStat at GraphPad Software's website. InStat is basic, inexpensive statistical software (but we haven't evaluated it), with concise online notes on basic to moderately advanced statistical methods.

VassarStats is an online basic statistical packagee (again unevaluated by us) with some background notes. As analyses involves you typing data into a website, only analyses of small data sets are recommended, but a potentially useful resource nonetheless.
