Great posting Jo! Hans has been on TED videos before and he always makes statistics sound interesting.
ReplyDeleteYes, I thought so too!
ReplyDeleteI did a stats minor and loved it as well as stats p/g. And, just like everything, stats is interesting if you can make it relevant to your audience.
Hans does a great job here with fabulous new technologies. Just like my dear departed stats professor, he has a passion that cannot be ignored and is infectious. :-)
Restrospective Comment:
ReplyDeleteI dedicate this post to my former dear departed Prof Graham McLaren - the most empowering and inspiring statistics professor at Monash University!
May he rest in peace.
