I'm a big dork and I like it a lot. <br /><br />I get frustrated by the fact that not a lot of people understand statistics and so what should be a useful tool ends up being used against the common good. (just like your quote)<br /><br />My favorite stats quote is from The Importance of Being Earnest: "The number of engagements here seems to be considerably above the proper average that statistics have laid down for our guidance."Shinobihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01313230196499723851noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10370002.post-18945120568949888292007-01-08T13:19:00.000-08:002007-01-08T13:19:00.000-08:00I think you misspelled your title Shi.I think you misspelled your title Shi.Viperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14745618028143461212noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10370002.post-46497940929747497102007-01-08T10:30:00.000-08:002007-01-08T10:30:00.000-08:00Nice job tearing that study apart.
So is statisti...Nice job tearing that study apart.<br /><br />So is statistical analysis your profession or a hobby? I checked back at the beginning but couldn't find an explanation. <br /><br />An interesting quote (which you've probably already heard) that I heard from a professor who taught statistics was, "Statistics don't lie. Liars use statistics." I didn't realize at the time how true those words were.DEDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07266406676643270732noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10370002.post-90092859701545199102007-01-08T05:40:00.000-08:002007-01-08T05:40:00.000-08:00Thanks Kav, it seemed time for a changeThanks Kav, it seemed time for a changeShinobihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01313230196499723851noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10370002.post-54755811371939018682007-01-04T09:42:00.000-08:002007-01-04T09:42:00.000-08:00nice post and nice new blog front endnice post and nice new blog front endKavhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02741198264370890465noreply@blogger.com
