This is a list of statistics resources I have discovered on the World Wide Web (WWW). I hope you will find them useful. If you know of (or maintain) a statistics resource on the Web that you don't see here, please drop me a line to let me know about it, and I'll take a look at it. Enjoy!

Note: this site, and my expertise, have to do with statistical methods. You won't find any information here about:

Or other related questions. For answers, you might try Media Metrix or DoubleClick. I also can't tell you how many ophthamologists there are in Montana, or how many people visited Disneyland in 1997, or what the most popular brand of fish sticks is. For those, try LEXIS-NEXIS or DIALOG. Also see Paula Berenstein's nice book, Finding Statistics Online, which deals with such questions much better than I could.
