Statistical Archives

David C. Howell


The first set of resources contain the archives of the various discussion groups that are active. Every question and every answer has been filed away and you can search for them. For example, if you wish to run contrasts among means of a repeated-measures variable, you could search the EdStat-L archives with the keywords Contrasts or Repeated Measures. Searching is easy. Just click on the relevant title and then supply a word or phrase for searching when you are asked.

Some of these links were not available when I checked them, but the address didn't fail completely. They may be on servers running on personal computers that were turned off. I am leaving them here in hopes of re-establishing contact, but I have followed the bad links with a frown [unsmiley.gif

Creating and maintaining web pages

I hope the some people are sufficiently intrigued that they want to start their own web pages. It is actually very easy. If you use a major word processor, such as Word or WordPerfect, it will create the html documents for you. (They may be clumsy, but they'll work.) You just need to ask someone how to make them available to others. (In fact, if you write anything and save it as an html document, you can open it immediately with Netscape, Internet Explorer, or another browser. You don't even need a web site.) The following list contains material on writing hypertext documents. These sources are very helpful, but the best way to begin is to take a sample page and study it. It is easy to modify the page, and rename it to be your own. Just call up any page you think interesting and use the "save as" command to store it on your hard drive. If the page has neat graphics, you can save them too. On a Windows machine, just click your right mouse button and select "save image". On a Mac, just hold down the mouse buttion while pointing at the image.

The first two references below are the best, but look at the others as well.

  1. A Beginners Guide to HTML is a good place to start. It can also be found on the NCSA homepage, which has lots of great stuff.

  2. HTML Index . This is a good source of information in a hypertext form.

  3. A very complete collection of references for writing HTML, SGML, and other electronic documents can be found at Gregory Murphy's Homepage. His list changes weekly.

  4. Finally, for those who really care, there is a good guide to HTML 3.2 Syntax. It is not bedtime reading, but it is thorough and may help you find why that perfectly good statement doesn't work.
