Mon: Who invented the Metropolis algorithm?
Tues: “Who’s bigger”—the new book that ranks every human on Wikipedia—is more like Bill Simmons than Bill James
Wed: “Being an informed Bayesian: Assessing prior informativeness and prior–likelihood conflict”
Thurs: “The great advantage of the model-based over the ad hoc approach, it seems to me, is that at any given time we know what we are doing.”
Fri: Special July 4th statistics post! Dimensionless analysis as applied to swimming
Sat, Sun: As Chris Hedges would say: Don’t worry, baby.
I’m taking a wild guess that Friday’s post will be ’bout some kid swimming in a pool filled with molasses or corn starch or some such gooey thing. :)
If Friday is a guest post, then I can guess who wrote it…
It will be a Direct Lesson from a Damnably Likeable, Defiantly Latitudinarian Distant Luminescence.
If you, like me, are a keener stats nerd who likes to do advanced reading before a discussion, you may appreciate having a link to Being an informed Bayesian paper.
Since Andrew writes most of his posts days or weeks before he publishes them, he should always give us a list of texts to read in advance ;-)
