Mystat class was online thorough my school. But it was NOT easy at all. I think our tests an quizzes were more difficult online than the ones given in the traditional (in school) class. It was fast paced and difficult having no face to face interaction to ask questions or have the professor show you.

I just finished an online statistics class. It was very time consuming. It wasn't super difficult, but it surely wasn't easy either. It involves a lot of studying, concepts, memorization, and practicing questions.


Trust me, I am no math wizard by any means but I got an A. I put a lot of time into it. If you aren't really strong at math or it's been a while since you have taken algebra, I'd suggest taking an in person statistics class. I spent many hours teaching myself complicated things that would have been much easier if I had someone explaining it step by step. Also, my final exam had to be taken in person at the school and was done by hand. All work had to be shown. Fyi:there are a lot of great statistics lessons on YouTube that explain things very well and show you step by step. Thank god for the people who took the time to make those tutorials.


I think any statistics class will be comparable to another as its all the same concepts. Never heard of an "easy" one, unless it's coming from the mouth of someone who is just naturally good at stats.


I lucked out with a "doable" stat class but it was in person at a community college in the days before internet. The instructor made it relatively easy for anyone who did the work. He allowed one notecard for quizzes and exams. Essentially, if you were able to do the problems on the day to day homework and did your notecard intelligently, it was all there for you. Majority of the students got B's or A's. I realized, even at that time, that this was a one in a million instructor and course.


I took undergrad and graduate statistics online with proctored exams. The class is not hard...it is just a lot of work. There are a lot of tools for statistics, and I found that most of what we did in undergrad was done using excel tools with some minor calculations and what we did in grad school was generally done using statistics software. That being said, you have to understand enough to know what tools to employ, but I found the actual need to do complex calculations pretty rare. One bit of advice: Do not fall behind. Every chapter builds on the previous, and concepts are always reused. Good luck to you.


The online stats at Grand Canyon University was not easy, but the prof I had was great and no actual tests. Each week we had 2 Discussion questions we had to do----and then reply to other students work. Then due each Sunday 1 had an Excel homework and a workbook problems...So you had a lot of time to do the work, and no pressure of an actual closed book test! Of course 1 had to show ALL their work. It wasn't an easy course, well if your a numbers person maybe!


In every day nursing...does 1 really use stats?? Not really....math calculations yes..big difference between the 2.....But 1 still wants to take a class where 1 learns something. I don't think a "easy" stats class exists,lol


was developed to facilitate independent analysis of national estimates of delinquency cases processed by the nation's juvenile courts. With this application, users can perform unique analyses on the age, sex, and race of juveniles involved in these cases as well as the referral offense, the use of detention, adjudication and case disposition. Users can also view pre-formatted tables describing the demographic characteristics of youth involved in the juvenile justice system and how juvenile courts process these cases.


OJJDP, a component of the Office of Justice Programs, U.S. Department of Justice, accomplishes its mission by supporting states, local communities, and tribal jurisdictions in their efforts to develop and implement effective programs for juveniles. The Office strives to strengthen the juvenile justice system's efforts to protect public safety, hold offenders accountable, and provide services that address the needs of youth and their families.


The OJJDP Statistical Briefing Book (SBB) enables users to access online information via OJJDP's Web site to learn more about juvenile crime and victimization and about youth involved in the juvenile justice system. Developed for OJJDP by the National Center for Juvenile Justice, SBB provides timely and reliable statistical answers to the most frequently asked questions from policymakers, the media, and the general public. In addition, the data analysis and dissemination tools available through SBB give users quick and easy access to detailed statistics on a variety of juvenile justice topics.


The National Center for Juvenile Justice (NCJJ), located in Pittsburgh, PA. is the research division of the National Council of Juvenile and Family Court Judges and is the oldest juvenile justice research group in the United States, having conducted national and sub national studies on crime and delinquency since 1973.

was developed to provide access to juvenile arrest statistics at the national, state, and county level. Arrest statistics are presented for 29 detailed offense categories. Users can select displays based on counts or rates for juveniles, adults, or all ages combined.


2 Not the Student t-test as is commonly claimed by people online who have only a passing familiarity with statistics; the t-test is appropriate with continuous, normally-distributed random variables, whereas \(\chi^2\) is appropriate for categorical random variables from independent trials and arbitrary probability distributions, which is what an A/B test is.


Now that we have a simple formula for the chi-squared statistic, we refer to the chi-squared distribution to determine statistical significance. Specifically: What is the probability this result would have happened by chance alone?


Looking at the distribution at 1 degree of freedom, we must exceed 3.8 for 95% confidence and 6.6 for 99% confidence. For this simplified rule-of-thumb formula, I selected 4 as the critical threshold. Solving for \(D^2\) completes the derivation:


First, you don't have to pull anything (as in network pull), because you have the whole repository and the whole history locally. I'm pretty sure there are tools that will give you statistics, but sometimes you can just be creative with the command lines. For instance, this (just out of my head) will give you the number of commits per user:


Other statistics you asked for may need more thought put into it. You may want to see the tools available. Googling for git statistics points to the GitStats tool, which I have no experience with and even less idea of what it takes to get it run on windows, but you can try.


Note that, if your repo is on GitHub, you now (May 2013) have a new set of GitHub API to get interesting statistics.

See "File CRUD and repository statistics now available in the API"


Note that I have a trick where it ignores any commit that adds/removes more than 10,000 lines because I assume that this is a code import of some sort, feel free to modify the logic for your needs. You can put the below into a file called gitstats-simple.rb and then run


What can we conclude from this using Bayesian statistics? We can build credibility intervals that tell us (for example, with 95% probability) where the true conversion rate may lie for each of these variants, using the following table calculations:


Bonus: In theory, you could even use the Looker API to do Thompson sampling, to automatically weight how you assign new partitipants, by sorting your variants on the following formula and picking the top one:


In practice, however, it would be better for performance to just figure out a ratio once in a while, and then apply that ratio to a whole batch of participants, rather than hitting the API for each participant
