Abstract:
The World Wide Web and the JAVA programming environment provide a framework for developing and delivering didactic tools for use in statistics teaching. This paper describes VESTAC, a collection of such tools aimed at the visualization of a number of statistical concepts and allowing the user to experiment with them interactively. The collection is freely accessible over the web and covers selected topics from the following areas: distributions and plots, tests and confidence intervals, regression and analysis of variance.
