Popcorn Statistics
This
hands-on exercise using individual packages of popcorn to repackages
basic concepts of statistics. Dr. Steve Carpenter from the University
of Wisconsin, followed by Dr. Gary Lamberti from the University of
Notre Dame, developed an example to test a particular statistical
design using popcorn. Having taken Biostatistics from Dr. Lamberti
15 years ago, the ideas clearly stuck in my mind. I used the single design as
a starting point to develop a larger, longer and more comprehensive
version of Popcorn Statistics. An article summarizing this exercise
will soon appear in The
ASLO Bulletin. If you have any questions about the material on
this website or the article, please feel free to
email me, Dr. Romi Burks
