Strengths and trade-offs
SticiGui — where it wins
- Pairs a statistics textbook with interactive experiments and data analysis
- Includes automatically graded exercises, individualized problem sets, and solutions
- Offers review materials, practice exams, and instructor grade queries
Where it doesn't
- Focuses on introductory statistics rather than advanced study
- Course assignments and grade queries depend on instructor participation
- Interactive learning is browser-based, not a separate statistical software package
Seeing Theory — where it wins
- Interactive demonstrations cover probability events and distributions.
- Visual exercises explain confidence intervals, bootstrap, and Bayesian updating.
- Regression, correlation, and ANOVA examples use interactive visualizations.
Where it doesn't
- The site is archived for reference rather than presented as an active course.
- It runs in a web browser, with no other platform specified.
- Its examples focus on statistical concepts rather than classroom workflows.
