Scatterplots & Correlation
Construct interactive scatterplots, hover over points, move them around or overlay a smooth trend line. Find the correlation coefficient r. Built the sampling distribution of r via bootstrapping or permutation, one resample at a time.
Exponential Regression
Fit and visualize a simple exponential regression model to data such as the number of COVID-19 infections in New York City in March 2020 (Example 16, Chapter 13).
Logistic Regression
Fit a logistic regression model with a single quantitative predictor. Obtain parameter estimates, a graph of the fitted probabilities and construct confidence intervals.
Bootstrap Confidence Intervals & Permutation Tests
Sampling Distribution for the
