Workshop Statistics: Discovery with Data and Fathom

WORKSHOP STATISTICS: DISCOVERY WITH DATA AND FATHOM integrates instructions specific to Fathom while retaining all the distinctive features of the original text. Fathom is an open-format statistical learning environment that allows dynamic manipulation developing conceptual and graphical understanding, as well as for most standard computational tasks.
