My experience with the ASA has been a normal distribution: I started out in the left tail, became heavily involved in the ASA for 68.2% of my time, and am now heading into the right tail, where the ASA is still with me and supporting my needs. —Nicole Close

Polished answers can now be produced at a speed and scale we have never experienced before. That makes our habit of asking how much confidence an answer deserves more valuable, not less. Read more from Montserrat Fuentes in this month's StatTrak feature. stattrak.amstat.org/...
“As the mechanics of analysis become easier and faster, the parts of the work that require judgment become more important. The statistician’s value is not simply in producing an answer. It is in understanding whether the answer deserves to be believed, what it leaves out, and what should happen next.” - Montserrat Fuentes
