<p class=MsoNormal><b><i><span style='font-family:Consolas'><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></span></i></b></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:Consolas'>What&#8217;s the
connection between the Statistics that written about and taught in an
introductory statistics textbook and the statistical analyses that are
performed all throughout the world every day? A fact of life for the Statistics
course is that many people teaching Statistics have little practical experience
with the subject other than what they&#8217;ve learned by reading about or
teaching it. How close is the book version of Statistics to real world
practice?<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:Consolas'><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:Consolas'>Data mining is a process
of exploratory modeling of phenomena from very large data sets or databases.
Because of the size of the data, mistakes made by the data miner are often
magnified. The consequences of those innocuous little assumptions about models
that we harp on in our introductory courses suddenly come to life in
frightening ways. Looking at real data mining problems provides a wonderful
lens to examine what we should emphasize and what we might relax in our first
courses. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:Consolas'>In this webinar,
I&#8217;ll introduce some of the challenges I see in conveying the essence of
what we do in an introductory course. Then I show some real examples of data
mining problems I&#8217;ve been involved with and how they can inform us about
teaching in the first statistics course, from the first exposure to concepts in
elementary or middle school through a high school or a 2 or 4 year college
