In my humble opinion, this book should be a must-read in all classes of quantitative methodology in social sciences (and not only). #StatisticalLiteracy #dataanalysis #rstats @sociology

@ZeroCovidColin While short of the PROOF you demand, you probably know this excellent RCT on a related topic? ✈️ 🪂 🤣

Acc. to Milo Schield :

"The main thing is for policymakers to treat statistics the same way they treat people. People have motives, values and agendas. So do statistics – because they were selected, assembled and presented by people who have motives, values and agendas. Statistics are closer to words than to numbers. Yes, statistics involve numbers, but statistics are numbers in context and the words give the context."

The Seven Unnatural Acts of Statistical Thinking acc. to Richard D. De Veaux and Paul F. Velleman

1. Think Critically.
2. Be Skeptical. Question authority and the current theory.
3. Think about variation rather than about center.
4. Focus on what we don’t know.
5. Perfect the Process. Our best conclusion is often a refined question.
6. Think about conditional probabilities and rare events.
7. Embrace vague concepts (Center, Outlier, Linear...).

I have noted that some of my graduate students are confused by standard deviation, standard error of the mean, and confidence intervals.

Here is a video to explain these in simple terms:

I had been thinking about an ethical alternative to Twitter for a while, so thank you Elon for giving me the push I needed to make the move.

Was an ESL teacher in a previous iteration, now completing a Master of Teaching 👩‍🎓 . I try not to spend too much time "off task" but if I succumb (and TBH I frequently do) you might find me checking out

Very grateful to those who share their knowledge/experience here.

Just explained to family member why local temperatures in some areas can decrease, despite global temperature increase.
