Weaver has some nice slide-shows, but does anyone know of
other links to free aids for interactive stats? If anyone
is interested I can send an account [off-list] of my
attempts to explain (linear) regression and correlation
using elastic bands attached from data points to a rigid
pole rotating at the intersect of mean Y and mean X. I’m
not sure if the maths is right, but it helped (non-numerate)
students to understand.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

I should have said, “Authors of aids to understand
statistical concepts.” It’s the animation possibilities
that look interesting for explaining things like the mean or
regression lines if readers can move data points around. I
don’t have Mathematica, or even Acrobat, but I recently got
a new PC with Windows 7 and Word 2007, so I can now save pdf
files which which retain their layout, display more quickly
on my website and have functioning hyperlinks. Muir Houston
pointed me towards MWsnap freeware which I’ve been using to
capture bits of screen (eg icons on SPSS screenshots) but
now there’s “snip” in Word which apparently does the same
thing.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
