They can’t figure out degrees of freedom either, thus no mean square. 😎😉

I’m sure you meant 2.5 credit hours 😁🧐. Just leave about that Bayesian stuff and you’ll have time.

You should see the correlation with pizza consumption of parents. That has not been ruled out either.

I'm worried our current batch of students will not be able or even interested in "seeing a problem with the data". Keep up the good work.

45 years later I completed a PhD in statistics. She died before I could find her on social media, but I did find her daughter and get to tell her the story.

My first mentor was my 3rd grade teacher, Mrs. Moore. A black woman teaching in a white neighborhood in the 60’s that wouldn’t have a black resident until the 90’s. She said I already knew 3rd grade math and took me to the book closet and got a 4th grade book. She said “you and I will use this book”

The final question on the final in my Stats for Research class. 50 PhD students pan-campus. I wish I had the answer. :). "Your research is complete and your data analyzed. Your p-value for your primary outcome is .053. What do you do? Say?

I say ask 11 Bayesians to calculate the interval and let’s drink beer 🍺 and discuss why each one is different but I can use the probability word when describing them. 😉

We business professors call it “marketing puffery”. It’s a concept that allows marketers to lie 🤷‍♀️

If the designation impacts our conclusions about the drug/intervention, we’ve goofed. The rest is about inference space, and we essentially ignore that in a RCT anyway. 🤷‍♀️
