Mechanism
What is the process underlying any data?
The idea
From an invisible process to visible data.
Statistical reasoning connects what we observe to the process that may have produced it. Simulation lets us examine that connection.
Data
What statistical inference based on the data?
Simulation
What changes when we repeat the process under controlled assumptions?
The series
Statistical laboratories
Each laboratory begins with a question and develops the statistical ideas needed to investigate it. It is an evolving format for exploring the relationship between mechanism, data, and simulation. Each laboratory is evaluated and refined through the experience of its participants.
