free/non accredited stats courses?

[dyavrom]

Anyone have any experiences with free stats courses floating around the web or in print?  I need to refresh on stats to waive out of it for SAIS and I want to get that done before school starts.  

 

The lessons required to learn are: 

 

Basic Probability Theory; Mathematical Expectation and Moments; Calculation of Sample Statistics and Measures of 

Central Tendency; Distribution Theory; Hypothesis Testing and Confidence Intervals; Expectation, Variance, Covariance.

 

i checked out Khan academy, but couldn't find anything else.  Im hoping for something that is NOT graded and I can do at my own pace. 

 

thank youu

Carnegie Mellon's "Open Learning Initiative" (OLI) is a good one that I'm using now. Their Statistical Reasoning course seems to encompass everything you need.

They also seem to have a "Causal and Statistical Reasoning" one that might be useful. I didn't notice it until just now, so maybe I'll check it out.

Have you checked out Coursera? They have a huge variety of fantastic courses. Here's the link to their stats section: https://www.coursera.org/courses?orderby=upcoming&cats=stats

If you want an accompanying book, I'd highly recommend Stock and Watson's "Introduction to Econometrics"

While Stock & Watson is great for econometrics, it's not going to be very helpful to learn the stats that @dyavrom needs. The first chapter is a very quick stats review, but you'd be better off reading the Wikipedia page on covariance than buying an econometrics book to study for an intro stats test.
