Statistics

• For reviewing statistics concepts, past students have recommended video lessons from Khan Academy and Brandon Foltz (which has ads), especially for reviewing distributions, hypothesis testing, and type I and type II error.

• Explained Visually: a website that visualizes some concepts from class (markov, conditional probability, eigenvectors, etc.)

• Where did the Gaussian (normal) distribution come from? see Stahl, 1996 article in Canvas site Readings folder

• 1-sided vs 2-sided tests for a change in the variance: NIST Engineering Statistics Handbook, Chi-Square Test for the Variance (If you’re using a 2-sided test, you need to look up alpha/2 in the chi-squared tables, as shown on the link.)

Programming

• PythonNumericalDemos demos and visualizations such as this Interactive Correlation Coefficient Demonstration, by Michael Pyrcz (University of Texas at Austin)

• Earth Data Science - EarthLab tutorials: time series data, data exploraiton and analysis

• Managing conda environments

• The Unix Shell

Note

The UW eScience institute offers data science office hours which could be useful for your projects or your own research work.
