Wikis are increasing in popularity, and recently the well-established Chance mathematical site went just plain "wiki". The original Chance newsletter was started in 1992, and was intended to "review current issues in the news that use probability or statistical concepts." As one might surmise, the newsletter was geared primarily towards educators, but since then it has gained a broad following....

CHANCE Magazine is a joint publication of the American Statistical Association and Springer-Verlag. The magazine features articles about statistics and the use of statistics in society in a style that is intended to be accessible to a broad public audience or anyone with "an interest in the analysis of data." Topic areas include statistics used in the social, biological, physical, and medical...

This is the website for Columbia University's Department of Industrial Engineering and Operations Research, which is "concerned with the design, analysis, and control of production and service operations and systems." The website describes two of the Department's research centers. The first, the Center for Applied Probability, supports interdisciplinary research on probability and its...

With a mandate from the American Statistical Association, the Consortium for the Advancement of Undergraduate Statistics Education (CAUSE) has a simple, yet daunting, mission: "to support and advance undergraduate statistics education." They do so through an ambitious mix of professional development initiatives, coupled with sustained outreach efforts and research. Most educators and students...

Project Euclid, available through the Cornell University Library, is "a user-centered initiative to create an environment for the effective and affordable distribution of serial literature in mathematics and statistics." The project is a collaborative partnership with scholarly publishers, professional societies, and academic libraries. The goal is to provide full-text searching, reference...

What is a "measure of spread" and what does it tell us about a data set? Why are scatter plots useful in comparing two variables? How might you go about designing a controlled experiment? If you are interested in exploring (or teaching) answers to these questions, the Crash Course YouTube channel recently launched Crash Course Statistics - a series of short videos dedicated to helping people make...

While economic data on crop values are strictly commercial/ agricultural summaries, they can be useful as surrogate indices of land use/ cover change, or in estimating food subsidies (e.g. waste grain) for wildlife. Posted by the US Department of Agriculture (USDA) Economics and Statistics System at Cornell University, the site contains the "annual marketing year average prices and value of...

DesignTheory.org is the official website of a research project hosted at the School of Mathematical Sciences at Queen Mary, University of London, and funded by the UK Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council. The goal of the project is "to cover theoretical, computational, and statistical aspects of combinatorial designs" and to develop an online database of various resources for Design...

FiveThirtyEight began in 2008 as an independent polling aggregation website. Founded by now-famous statistical analyst, Nate Silver, the site published articles accurately predicting several election cycles. The New York Times bought FiveThirtyEight in 2010 and sold it to ESPN in early 2014. These days readers can expect a punchy online magazine that dissects sports, politics, economics, science,...

This resource for educators and students of game theory aims to make lessons on game theory more relevant to the student (see also NSDL Scout Report for Math, Engineering, and Technology, October 11, 2002). This section of the website provides links to lecture notes for courses in game theory and applied game theory offered by faculty at various universities. The collection is arranged in a table...
