The full version of CAST

CAST stands for Computer-Assisted Statistics Teaching. It was initially developed as a complete course in introductory statistics at Massey University. The full version of CAST can be used without charge at present. Instructions for downloading can be found by clicking the New User link on the CAST web site if you have a slow internet connection.

The full version of CAST contains three full statistics courses that are aimed at students from different subject areas. The General Version for Students contains data sets and scenarios of general interest, the Biometric Version for Students contains data sets and scenarios from biological, health and agricultural sciences, and the Business Version for Students contains data sets and scenarios from business and commerce.

CAST modules

The Assessment CAST module is one of several additional modules that are either aimed at different groups of users or cover more advanced statistical techniques. They can all be accessed from the full version of CAST.
