DASL (pronounced "dazzle") is an online library of datafiles and stories that illustrate the use of basicstatistics methods. We hope to provide data from a wide variety of topics so thatstatistics teachers can find real-world examples that will be interesting totheir students. Use DASL's powerful search engine to locate the story ordatafile of interest.
OverviewTeachers use examples to illustrate statistics concepts. A good example can makea lesson on a particular statistics method vivid and relevant. DASL is designedto help teachers locate and identify datafiles for teaching. We hope that DASLwill also serve as an archive for datasets from the statistics literature.The archive contains two types of files, stories and datafiles. Each storyapplies a particular statistical method to a set of data. Each datafile has one or more associated stories. The data can be downloaded as aspace- or tab-delimited table of text, easily read by most statistics programs. Stories are classified according to statistical methods and major topics ofinterest. Power search through DASL's stories and datafiles in five differentways.Title Search: Searches through all of the story titles.Method Search: Statistical methods such as regression or ANOVA.Topic Search: Topics such as psychology or health.Datafile Subject Search: Data subjects such as finance or astronomy.Full-text Search: Searches through all of the stories and datafiles.The first four specialized searches are slightly faster than the full-textsearch. Use these searches if you know what you want. The full-text search ishelpful if you're interested in something more general (e.g., Fisher). Help Search provides information on usingthe search engines and provides a few examples.Final Comments & ThanksDASL is part of larger effort to enhance the teaching of statistics usingcomputers. A related project, the ElectronicEncyclopedia of Statistical Exercises and Examples (EESEE), offers aself-study application. Another wonderful location to visit is the ChanceDatabase. Chance also provides a link to several other Statistics Relatedinternet sources such as the American Statistical Association, InternationalAssociation for Statistical Computing and more.The hard disk storage space for DASL is generously provided by StatLib.Thank you for visiting DASL.
