Their background in basic statistical concepts is OK, but they have little exposure to statistical software. I am looking for pre existing data sets that they can explore fairly easily, probably using R and R Commander (though some coding would be OK), to illustrate some multivariate analyses (e.g., advanced regression, MANOVA, factor analysis). I don't expect proficiency with the software, but enough exposure to the output of results of analyses to understand what things mean. I am looking for multiple examples of the same analyses, so they get exposure and practice with lots of stuff.
