A (deep) NN is just a really complicated data model, the way one treats the estimation of its parameters and prediction of new data determines whether one is a Bayesian or a frequentist. The Bayesian assigns a distribution to the parameters

I agree that there are many things Fisher got wrong (eugenics, tobacco lobbying, etc.), but his contributions to statistics (e.g., maximum likelihood or ANOVA) and genetics are among the most fundamental of the 20th century.

Link's Awakening is such a weird but fascinating entry in the Zelda series. I was not surprised to learn that its story was directly influenced by Twin Peaks.

It‘s such a tragedy that he died so young. Prof Mackay was a role model who impacted our world in many positive ways (e.g. his work in information theory, Bayesian statistics, environmental science). I recommend his lecture on information t

The ASA recently published a new statement which is more optimistic about the use of p-values [1]. I myself also think that correctly used p-values are in many situations a good tool for making sense out of data. Of course, a decision shoul

A cool nomogram from statistics available here https://bmcmedresmethodol.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186... people often confuse the p-value as posterior probability of the null hypothesis. With this nomogram it is

This is the typical „CS-people“ reaction to learning R. R is a language written by statisticians for statisticians which can be a good but also a bad thing. Fact is that R is the lingua franca of statistics, most new methods will be first a

Both initiatives are indeed quite drastic, but so is the decline in biodiversity. Double yes from my side!

One of my favorite writers. Highly recommend to read also his less famous works like "das Schloss", "Amerika", or "in der Strafkolonie". If you dig such books, give also Robert Walser and Bruno Schulz a try!

Reminds me of the open science framework ( https://osf.io/ ), which is widely used by researchers from social sciences / psychology.

Can recommend the paper "A Reproducible Data Analysis Workflow with R Markdown, Git, Make, and Docker" by Peikert and Brandmaier [1], which shows a much more robust approach to reproducibility. [1] https://psyarxiv

For all things related to color in data visualization, I can fully recommend the R-package colorspace. For example, the package features colorblind friendly palettes and also the possibility to emulate different forms of color vision defici
