Databases

Current Index To Statistics, 1975-
also available in print at Reference Collection 519.205 C976 1975-2001

Indexes the entire contents of "core journals", in most cases from 1975 (or first issue if later) to the current end year, and pre-1975 coverage for several of them, selected articles since 1975 from additional journals (cumulatively), and books in statistics published since 1975.

Contains abstracts of articles on probability, statistical theory, and important applications. Foreign language article titles are given in English and the language of the article is given. Articles are arranged in a classified subject sequence. A copy of the classification scheme is given in each issue. An author index is given for each issue and an annual cumulated author index is produced.

Electronic journals

Internet gateways

StatLib

Hosted by the Department of Statistics  at  Carnegie Mellon University. A system for distributing statistical software, datasets, and information by electronic mail, FTP and WWW

StatSci.org

A portal for statistical science, the discipline of statistics. A window to statistical science and bioinformatics on the web, with special attention to Australia. StatSci.org consists of two parts: resources and directory. The resources are a set of services including the Australian jobs database. The directory is a Yahoo-like index of statistical science resources on the web

Statistics Virtual Library

Maintained by the University of Florida Department of Statistics. Organised in the following order:  Data Sources;  Job Announcements;  Departments, Divisions and Schools of Statistics;  On-Line Educational Resources, Government Statistical Institutes;  Statistical Research Groups, Institutes, and Associations;  Statistical Services;  Statistical Archives and Resources;  Statistical Software Vendors and Software FAQs;  Statistical Journals; Mailing List Archives;  Statistics Related News Groups;  Related Fields

The purpose of the Institute is to foster the development and dissemination of the theory and applications of statistics and probability.

Pre-prints and Publications

Facility to search the database. Everybody is welcome to submit abstracts to the Probability Abstract Service

This service provides a list of all registered papers on MCMC methodology currently submitted for publication. It should be noted that the MCMC Preprint Service has no editorial policy and that the administrators rely upon contributors to offer appropriate papers. It is entirely the contributors responsibility to ensure that submitted papers are essentially correct, and that acceptable academic practice is followed at all times

Encyclopaedias and Dictionaries

Encyclopedia of statistical sciences / editors-in-chief, Samuel Kotz, Norman L. Johnson ; associate editor, Campbell B. Read.1982-1989
Reference collection  519.22103 E56

Covers satistical theory and the application of methods.

International encyclopedia of statistics. 2v. 1978.
Reference Collection 519.221 I61

A two volume work of articles on statistics, or articles relevant to statistics applied to the social sciences.

Data

The purpose of this project is to improve the accuracy of statistical software  by providing reference datasets with certified computational results that enable the objective evaluation of statistical software.

Hosted by the Department of Statistics  at  Carnegie Mellon University. A system for distributing statistical software, datasets, and information by electronic mail, FTP and WWW

Designed to make statistical routines easily available via the WWW. The routines currently available have been divided into two categories, data analysis and educational. For the data analysis procedures, users need only choose the routine of interest and then enter the data as well as any other necessary information into a form or a Java applet. It's that simple. Results will be returned to the user's browser window or to a Java applet window.
The educational procedures are all written in Java and feature interactive graphics. A wide range of statistical topics are
covered.

Handbooks, etc.

This is a catalogue of tables, most of which were published between 1900 and 1954. Full references are provided for each entry, and the work is well equipped with detailed author and subject index

A detailed multi-volume work. All tables are accompanied by introductory materials, the formula used in the calculation, and the computational procedure (or algorithm) used to generate the tables.

Newsgroups and mailing list

Allstat is a UK-based worldwide e-mail broadcast system for the statistical community. This list is operated by the Computers in Teaching Initiative (CTI) Centre for Statistics (although the broadcasts do not need to be concerned with teaching), and maintained currently by Matt Whiley in Glasgow. It is housed in Newcastle University's Mailbase system, which is funded by the Joint Information Systems Committee (JISC) of the Higher Education Funding Councils for England, Scotland and Wales. Allstat is intended to provide a fast and simple way of sending information to a wide body of statisticians.
