Statistics Tutor is a research project between the University of the Incarnate Word (San Antonio, Texas) and the University of North Texas (Denton, Texas) to promote statistics learning by using the emerging iOS technologies. Statistics Tutor is not simply a mobile dictionary for statistics concepts, but also integrates the transactive memory system in the mobile app.

We apply findings from previous studies [1] [2], and develope the "Automated Imaginative" function and the "Learning Path" function in the Statistics Tutor app. The “Automatic Imaginative” function offers relevant knowledge points according to the primary keywords in the search bar. The “Learning Path” function provides supportive knowledge for you to understand the focal statistics concepts.

Statistics Tutor has a dynamically updated database for iOS devices. Current published tutorials include: Time series analysis, hypothesis mean test, standard normal distribution. The upcoming update will cover probability.
