# Estimation for Better Inference
## Welcome
This OSF project helps organize resources for teaching Estimation (aka the "New Statistics")--an approach that emphasizes asking quantitative questions, focusing on effect sizes, using confidence intervals to express uncertainty about effect sizes, using modern data visualizations, seeking replication, and using meta-analysis as a matter of course (Cumming, 2011; Cumming & Calin-Jageman, 2024).

Here are the main pages to help you get started:
* Resources to help you [learn the New Statistics][25]
* [Textbooks][26] and other print resources (moderated commentary/reviews are welcome)

Students learning the new statistics are not immune to statistics anxiety and negative attitudes towards statistics. Here is a link to information and resources to help you address these barriers in your statistics course:
