Introduction to Statistics: Self-Paced Course Summer 2016
Welcome to the students of online Self paced Summer course on "Introduction to Statistics"developed by Dr. Asad Zaman, Vice Chancellor, PIDE. The department of Econometrics and Statistics, PIDE has offered this course particularly for the already enrolled students from 3rd semester (to be commenced in Fall, 2016) of MPhil and PhD students who are still in course work. It is required to complete the course before commencement of new semester.
All students should subscribe to this blog, as it will be used to deliver notices about the course i.e. lectures, quizzes and assessment details. ALSO, students can use the blog to post comments and ask questions about the course.Although this course only covers basic concepts (mostly), it does so in a new way, so that even people with advanced training in statistics will find many of the ideas to be very new, and different from what they have been taught. This is a unique course which offers a deep learning experience to students who make an effort.
Material for the course is gathered on the following website:

Intro Stats at Arid Agri U- March 2016
Welcome to students from Arid Agricultural University. Four sections of Intro to Statistics will be taught by Uzma and Nadia under my supervision. All students should subscribe to this blog, as it will be used to deliver notices about the course. ALSO, students can use the blog to post comments and ask questions about the course.
Material for the course is gathered on the following website:
Intro Stats: Arid Agricultural University
This will be unique course which will offer a deep learning experience to students who make an effort. It will require a lot of work from the students. We will follow the principle of the "INVERTED CLASSROOM" which has proven extremely effective. In the inverted classroom, lectures are delivered outside class, while homework and discussion takes place inside class. The sequence of videotaped lectures for the classroom has already been taped and is available from the link given above. In early March, I will personally take a first combined class for all four sections, after which separate classes will be held for each section by Uzma and Nadia on a routine basis. We will provide an assignment to be done BEFORE coming to class, which will involve watching a lecture and doing a quiz on it. To ensure compliance, a quiz very similar to the one assigned to be done at home will be given at the beginning of class, in every class.
I recently delivered a lecture at PIDE, in which I explained the unique Islamic approach to education. I encourage all students to watch this lecture, which conveys the message of Allama Iqbal to the Muslim youth:
