calc stat stuff here

Stats Modeling Stuff

Modeling unit
 * Days 6-9 Data Modeling including Linear Regression, Correlation, Other functions, examining residual plots.**

Day 6: Lines of Best Fit Exploration (Betty has handout activity) Review of lines and looking at average

Day 7: Formalization for lines of best fit (introduction to calculator capabilities) Can use Linear Regression Applet - up to 50 points and move around the line to develop understanding and intuition http://mste.illinois.edu/activity/regression/

Day 8: Playing around with other types of models (polynomial model, log, trig) - maybe introduction to work on laptops with fathom? Cool description of abstracting a model from a computer driving algorithm here: Ladder of Abstraction

Day 9: Exploration with larger data set, discussion about how to compare models - least squares regression

Work on coming up with a model for their collected daily data from the start of the year using 2 or 3 different models, explaining which one is the best, etc.

Fathom stuff: Link to page with data sets: http://www.keycurriculum.com/resources/fathom-resources/free-activities-and-resources/more-data#fathom-data-sets-and-simulations Fathom project ideas - ideas for data students can gather over course of time, or get from data sets (Betty has document - too big to upload DataisEverywhere.pdf)
