    The papers and websites gathered here provide examples of studies using M&Ms (and other similar items) to illustrate concepts in the broad area of data analysis.

    In addition to the many standard textbooks used in introductory and advanced courses in analytical chemistry, these references introduce additional ways to visualize, to summarize, to model, and to draw conclusions from data.
