LINKS ALLA STATISTICA


The World Wide Evaluation Information Gateway  http://www.policy-evaluation.org/    Another list of resources, like our evaluation site.  If you can't find it at our site, look here.
 

npres links to eval resources   http://npres.org/evalontheweb.htm   Another very good list of links, links to guides, checklists, to other links pages.  Also fairly comprehensive.  I got some links that I use from this site.
 

http://www.sociolog.com/links.html  list of sociology resources, for example, mailing lists. Some good lists are Govteval, methods and the Society for Applied Sociology list.
 

Openstat    http://OpenStat.homestead.com/OpenStatMain.html Free statistical programI've used this one a bit and it is comparatively easy to use.  There is also a linux version of this program, and the author is frequently updating the program.
 

John C. Pezzullo's list of free statistical software http://members.aol.com/johnp71/javasta2.html most comprehensive list on the web.  We got links to several of the stat packages listed on our site from Mr. Pezzullo's site, which lists a little more info.
 

Washington Statistical Society Methodology Seminars.  Data Presentation: A Guide To Good Graphics http://www.science.gmu.edu/~wss/methods/zawitzg.html and Data Presentation: A Guide To Good Tables  http://www.science.gmu.edu/~wss/methods/zawitzt.html both by Marianne W. Zawitz, Bureau of Justice Statistics.  These are powerpoint presentations, can view on the web or download.  Based on Tufte's work, excellent overviews.  After you did the research, you need to know how to present the results.  This is one place to look.

Also links to every other on line stat books, or to every one that I could find, and to some stat jokes.
