Hi folks,
A workshop on teaching introductory statistics with simulation-based
inference will be held at Germantown Academy near Philadelphia on June
4-5, 2016. The workshop will begin with dinner and a presentation on
Sat June 4, followed by an all-day workshop on Sun June 5. See:
www.causeweb.org/cause/workshop/philajune16
for more information and a registration form. A fee of $50 covers
dinner on Saturday as well as lunch and breaks on Sunday. Space is
limited, and registration is required.
Please contact me or Ruth Carver <ruth.carver(a)germantownacademy.org>,
who is coordinating local arrangements, with any questions. And please
help to spread the word to colleagues who might be interested. Thanks
very much,
Allan Rossman

Ask Good Questions
Hi Simulation-based folks!
SBI blog has three new attractions for you to check out.
- The newest contribution to the SBI blog (https://www.causeweb.org/sbi/)
comes from Alison Gibbs at University of Toronto. Her post can be found
under our "Simulation-based inference around the world" category. Make sure
to check out the Census at School website Alison talks about. In particular
the random sampler is a nice feature (links in the article). This could be
a great way to generate some data for a test question, final exams are just
around the corner.
- To that end, are asking you all to share a data set with the group. Do
you have an interesting data set that you like to use on your final exam,
or to teach a specific topic? Reply with a short description of your data
set and attach the data. We will also post these data sets on our blog. One
I like to use for comparing means is already up under the resources tab.
- Finally, there are a number of upcoming workshops and webinars posted
on our blog. The first one is next week, April 7th, featuring Allan Rossman
and Beth Chance. Links to sign up are on the blog under the workshops tab.
Happy blogging!
