Teachers use examples to illustrate statistics concepts. A good example can make a lesson on a particular statistics method vivid and relevant. DASL is designed to help teachers locate and identify datafiles for teaching. The archive contains two types of files, stories and datafiles. Each story applies a particular statistical method to a set of data. Each datafile has one or more associated stories. The data can be downloaded as a space- or tab-delimited table of text, easily read by most statistics programs.
Stories are classified according to statistical methods and major topics of interest. Power search through DASL’s stories and datafiles in five different ways.
- Title Search: Searches through all of the story titles.
- Method Search: Statistical methods such as regression or ANOVA.
- Topic Search: Topics such as psychology or health.
- Datafile Subject Search: Data subjects such as finance or astronomy.
- Full-text Search: Searches through all of the stories and datafiles.
