happy pi approximation day (22/7) to all those who celebrate

Few statisticians know that Frank Yates, pioneer of experimental design, is responsible for the annoying practice of indicating 3 tiers of statistical significance by stars (*p ≤ 0.05, **p ≤0.01, ***p ≤ 0.001). He soon regretted it and “vehemently opposed its unthinking use”. And here we are.

Did you know you can search for R packages by what they do, as opposed to just their names? Look! 👉🏼 rwarehouse.netlify.app @kylieainslie.bsky.social made The Warehouse for just this purpose.

The shift among some to using AI generation for making a point, reminds me more and more of the Andrew Lang quote: "He uses statistics like a drunk uses lamp-posts - for support rather than illumination."
