A few weeks ago in my blog I offered a link and summary of the Open Learning Initiative website that offers FREE courses on learning statistics. Likewise, this week I recommend that you visit the FREE websites below in order to refresh yourself on some data analysis basics, and to learn a few new quantitative methods .

1) StatTrek offers some statistical tools such as calculators, educational videos, and written lectures.

2) A text-only website that offers a more in-depth perspective of statistics. Similar to many statistics textbooks.
