Web-Based Statistics: Topics

We ended up with the following topics to be discussed in our Web-Based Statistics class this summer. The expected number of lectures on each topic is listed in parentheses. However, with the availability of new material, we may make adjustments in time and topics.

In particular, if you find an article or an interesting Web page that represents new aspects of statistics and the Web that might be worth to be presented in this class, please let me know about it and I will see how we can integrate this article/Web page into our class.
