Intro to Statistics

This site collects public-facing resources for Intro to Statistics — the concepts, activities, and interpretation-focused examples behind reasoning with data, evidence, models, and uncertainty. Curated by Matt Hester.

It is a curated resource site, not a raw course archive. Anything syllabus- or roster-specific lives in the LMS; this site is what stays public.
