Allen @t-allen.bsky.social · 12/10/2026They can’t figure out degrees of freedom either, thus no mean square. 😎😉 110
Allen @t-allen.bsky.social · 08/10/2026Looks like a great course. No math, spend time on the mitochondria. 000
Allen @t-allen.bsky.social · 29/08/2026We can now trust a stripper named Jasmine more than a a rice named Jasmine 🤷♂️ 000
Allen @t-allen.bsky.social · 22/08/2026Optimist: The cup is half full Pessimist: The cup is half empty Bill Cosby’s mother: it depends on whether you are drinking or pouring. 020
Allen @t-allen.bsky.social · 22/08/2026Optimist: The cup is half full Pessimist: The cup is half empty Statistician: the mean, median and mode = 1/2 141
Allen @t-allen.bsky.social · 11/08/2026I’m sure you meant 2.5 credit hours 😁🧐. Just leave about that Bayesian stuff and you’ll have time. 010
Allen @t-allen.bsky.social · 24/07/2026You should see the correlation with pizza consumption of parents. That has not been ruled out either. 000
Allen @t-allen.bsky.social · 15/07/2026Interesting. Both as a statistician and someone getting ready to donate a kidney 010
Allen @t-allen.bsky.social · 04/06/2026@statsepi.bsky.social is this as bad as it reads! Just the abstract, but! www.asco.org/abstracts-pr....asco.orgThe effects of Mediterranean diet, physical activity, and vitamin D on breast cancer recurrence and cardiometabolic health: A multicenter randomized trial. - ASCO 050
Allen @t-allen.bsky.social · 17/04/2026I used to do statistics for the hell if it …. now I do statistics to stay relevant. BoB 020
Allen @t-allen.bsky.social · 09/04/2026I'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. 010
Allen @t-allen.bsky.social · 30/03/202645 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. 000
Allen @t-allen.bsky.social · 30/03/2026My 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” 100
Allen @t-allen.bsky.social · 25/02/2026The AI generated emails from our new Enterprise software are driving me nuts. The thing wants me to add a period (.) after the Ave in my address. I yelled at my screen yesterday, “add it your damn self “. 😔🤷♂️ 010
Allen @t-allen.bsky.social · 02/12/2025The 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? 010
Allen @t-allen.bsky.social · 16/11/2025I 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. 😉 020
Allen @t-allen.bsky.social · 15/11/2025Overnight? Try carrying two shoe boxes full of punch cards to hand over to a stoned hippy and coming back in a few days to get your error filled green bar 🤣 010
Allen @t-allen.bsky.social · 28/10/2025Damn Darren, this is awesome. Just became required reading for my Stats for Research class. Thanks. 100
Allen @t-allen.bsky.social · 24/10/2025We business professors call it “marketing puffery”. It’s a concept that allows marketers to lie 🤷♀️ 010
Allen @t-allen.bsky.social · 08/10/2025Twitter was my postdoc. Learned a ton, made great connections. Best thing I did for my career 2015 till Elon bought it. 030
Allen @t-allen.bsky.social · 06/10/2025Clinical trials are easy if you just make up data …… I mean simulate it. 020
Allen @t-allen.bsky.social · 07/09/2025Darn, if you had chosen The University of Tennessee online MBA program, we could have reversed roles of teacher/student 😆😉. Just learn to pronounce EBITA with an Irish/Arkansas accent and you will be fine. 010
Allen @t-allen.bsky.social · 04/09/2025If 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. 🤷♀️ 010
Allen @t-allen.bsky.social · 04/09/2025I just love saying heteroskesomething,who cares if we can spell it! 010
Allen @t-allen.bsky.social · 29/08/2025There’s too much wrong with the world right now, I’m sticking with Will Smith IS cool 🙃 000
Allen @t-allen.bsky.social · 27/08/2025I’m a start simple kind of guy. First three days of my Stats for Research 1 are conceptual about two quotes “data has no meaning except in context “ and “statistics is simply separating Signal from Noise” 010
