[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would suggest you buy a used statistics book that has solved answers to problems within it or in an accompanying study guide.  Try online resources but also read the book in chapter order in case the online material doesn't do enough to help you understand.

If you find out an expensive current book "9th edition" you can probably find the just as good "8th edition" for only a few dollars.  Statistics isn't a discipline that changes the basics so books only update for fashion and business reasons.

Statistics 101 is the same everywhere and doesn't get you very far.  You mentioned reading about "models".  Can you explain what research field and what is being modeled?  Also what kind of statistical tests they are citing?

You should expect to drill yourself on problem sets if you want to internalize the material.  It's like high school algebra.  If you don't work problems, you won't internalize the formulas.

Actually now that I think about it, the high school AP Statistics curriculum might be easy for you to investigate and get matching printed resources for. I'm sure you can find AP Statistics online resources because many kids like to use online resources to supplement their class.

Believe it or not, statistics.com is a reputable provider of college-level live online courses.  I have considered getting a certificate through them in the past.  They've been around for years.  If your work covers training benefits that might work out for you.  Or a community college class.  Again, Statistics 101 is extremely uniform everywhere.  What will vary most is teaching quality.[/quote]

Thank you for this. This article is the type I am referencing - I can understand it in general but if I am being honest, I am lost at really understanding the details.
