The smovie package provides movies to help students to understand
statistical concepts. The rpanel
package is used to create
interactive plots that move to illustrate key statistical ideas and
methods. The movies cover the topics of probability distributions;
sampling distributions of the mean (central limit theorem), the median,
the maximum (extremal types theorem) and the (Fisher transformation of
the) correlation coefficient; simple linear regression; hypothesis
testing.
The function wws produces a movie to visualise the Wald, Wilks and
score likelihood-based test statistics, for a model with a scalar
unknown parameter. The user can change the value of the parameter under
a simple null hypothesis and observe the effect on the test statistics.
The following code uses the log-likelihood from a binomial experiment
and considers the null hypothesis that the success probability
