Welcome to the Web site for Optimal Data Analysis: A
Guidebook With Software for Windows.
Optimal Data
Analysis offers the only statistical analysis paradigm
that maximizes (weighted) predictive accuracy. This unique
book fully explains this paradigm and includes simple-to-use
software that empowers a universe of associated analyses. For
any specific sample and exploratory or confirmatory
hypothesis, optimal data analysis (ODA) identifies the
statistical model that yields maximum predictive accuracy,
assesses the exact Type I error rate, and evaluates potential
cross-generalizability. No other software can accomplish
analyses possible via ODA. The book contains numerous examples
that simply could not be solved by any statistical method
except for ODA.
This Web site will supplement Optimal Data
Analysis: A Guidebook With Software for Windows and
help keep it current.

- What's New?
Periodic review of new
things possible to accomplish via ODA including examples,
hints, ways to teach ODA, worked problem sets, and
subsequent ODA programs (e.g., CTA and MultiODA)
- Instructor Guidebook
- Software Updates (as needed)
This site will supplement the book and software, not
replace it. Because we assume that users of the site are users
of the software and book, topics addressed in detail in the
book will not be discussed here unless there are significant
additions or changes.
We welcome comments from our readers. Feel free to
contact us with your thoughts.
