The many statistical resources on the web range from easy interactive tutorials on the basic statistics discussed in this chapter to advanced routines of interest only to a specific discipline. They range from “click and go” to “installation required” and often come with a “no guarantees” warning.

Because statistics is a language that transcends discipline, you will find statistical help at many different academic and commercial sites.
