How to think about statistical consultation? Learning from data

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to reflect on statistics teaching and practice. To begin with, I will reflect on the present status of statistics education and its importance. Then I will discuss about seven main statistical topics: ‘Descriptive statistics’, ‘Basic concepts’, ’Statistical process control’, ’Random walks’, ’Introduction to statistical tools’, ’ How to do data analysis’ and ’ How to consult’. With the expansion and development of IT and the Internet, it is the e-century now, and therefore statistics education should change. Finally I suggest the idea of “statistical electronic school (statistical e- school)”.
