Your second link was an eye-opener. Can you recommend any textbooks or an online class (or its remains) that teaches Cobb's recommended curriculum?


Cobb, in some writing of his, recommends the textbook Statistics: Learning in the Presence of Variation,

http://www.amazon.com/Statistics-Learning-Presence-Variation...

which I bought just more than three years ago after I read that. The textbook is quite thought-provoking, not just another Tweedledum to the usual Tweedledee of undergraduate statistics textbooks.


Thanks, I'll check it out. It looks like he has authored a couple of stats books, too, that might be worthwhile.
