Hi all,
I am Tracy Tomlinson from the Psychology department at the University of Maryland, College Park. I am working with Benjamin Jones (@jonesb) to create an introduction to statistics and statistical thinking textbook. We have a draft of the book and are looking to improve, add, edit and disseminate! We are looking to create a very user-friendly statistics book that is easy for us to update and modify as the field evolves and student needs change. We also want this book to be easy to read, inclusive (for example with better examples of dichotomous variables other than male-female that almost all other statistic textbooks seem to use) and discusses both the use and MISuse of statistics to make this a practical book as well. Ideally, after this book is in a more finished form, we would love to further develop accompanying homework and R (statistical programming) assignments and supplements. We are excited to work within a supportive and knowledgeable community to advance these OER goals!
