“Humble Pi” by Matt Parker.
You think you pick up a book of funny anecdotes but actually end up getting a collection of interesting and insightful examples of how mathematics affect society, and how small mistakes can have large impacts.

Something to give to a person who would feel Ellenberg’s in itself excellent “How not to be wrong” too theoretical. Occasionally trying a bit too hard to be funny.

Hey, I'd like to make a pretty big announcement: I will release a comprehensive online course about R programming on Statistics Globe soon!

I'm currently preparing the content and structure of the course and would like to hear your opinion.

Would you be interested in such a paid online course and what topic should the course be about?

Should it be a more general R programming course or are you interested in a specific topic?

Thank you so much!

Crows can use statistical logic to make decisions, a new study shows. This means they can infer the best choice based on limited information and probabilities. Crows are among the few animals that have this remarkable cognitive ability, which could help them survive and thrive in complex environments.

As a regular #PostgreSQL user, I am accustomed to using the 'percentile_cont()' function to calculate quartiles for data sets. The need just arose to calculate quantiles in #SQLite, and a) there is no built-in aggregate function for this purpose, and b) existing approaches that I found are inaccurate in some circumstances.

Doing the calculation accurately requires several subqueries or CTEs. My code for grouped quantiles is here: https://splinterofthesingularity.blogspot.com/2023/09/median-and-quartiles-by-group-in-sqlite.html.

The teaser for S2 of #OFMD aired on a Wednesday. The trailer for S2 aired on a Thursday. New episodes of S2 will also air on Thursdays.

I'm gonna continue with my #askfedi requests, this time for #statistics in #python =)
I'm using ztest (from statsmodels) for classic A/B testing with "conversion" proportions.
Now I need to do the same but comparing *revenue* (a sum), rather than conversions (a percentage) - and I have no idea what even to look for, since all I can find talks about proportions.
I kinda think a Chi-square test might work, but I'd love if somebody who actually knows could point me in the right direction =)

Is self-reported reflective reasoning a good predictor of reflection test performance?

Another paper suggests the answer is *no*.

The average correlation between the Need For Cognition scale and various reflection tests was small: r ≅0.18, p < 0.001.

Ok Transperth - riddle me this: Where does this 3.6m number for people reached during the Midland/Airport Line shutdown come from?

ABS 2021 Census had the state population at 2.7m; and March 2023 numbers had us at 2.8m.

I doubt BITRE’s numbers make up for 800k in international passengers in a three month period…

So why are you likely double/triple counting for what is essentially a meaningless statistic that has no reflection on your actual performance?

Calling all Maths fans.

Is there any way to use the Wilson Confidence Rating ( https://www.evanmiller.org/how-not-to-sort-by-average-rating.html ) for items that have a % vote, not just up/down votes?

For example:
10 people rated item A, it got 90%
100 people rated item B, it got 89%

Can the algorithm work out that B should actually appear higher in the ratings than A?

Here's a thread on what the article didn't fully cover:

The history of statistical thinking has a very clear bifurcation after the 1830s into two separate streams. If we understand this historical cleft, we can clearly see that there is still one side worthy of pursuing (details below), and the other with its loudest propagandist in Galton that later reached fruition in Pearson, and Fisher (all outright eugenicists). Sadly, this later part is what we have adopted to quantify “rigorously” whether our results are significant.

Updated #introduction after some months here:
I am a statistician from central Europe working in applied medical research at a small nonprofit. I am also a trans lesbian in my twenties who is still closeted IRL, so I am keeping this account vague and anonymous. I have also been suffering from lingering complications from a covid infection.
Biggest hobbies are indie roguelike videogames, reading fanfic and whatever random hour-long video essays my well-trained youtube algo recommends me. I am also kinda getting back into anime after the end of Wonder Egg Priority made me quit the genre for like two years.

Follow me for boosts of scattered funny, pretty, gay or interesting posts of others. I haven't really found what cool stuff I myself can add to this community. If I actually post more stuff myself it will probably be rants about AI and the way we currently teach statistics. I have some opinions on those two things😋

https://doi.org/10.1073/pnas.2302491120

Visualizing only inferential uncertainty can lead to significant overestimates of treatment effects, even among highly trained experts
