Mini-Symposium on Statistical Consulting

There was a mini-symposium on statistical consulting at Columbia University yesterday. Andrew Gelman has posted some interesting things from the symposium, and promises more. Note in particular Rindskopf's Rules for Statistical Consulting.

I do recommend reading Andrew's blog on a regular basis. You'll learn a lot.

New version of Missing and Censored Data pdf

I've put a new version of the Missing and Censored Data pdf on the website. It turns out that there was nothing wrong with the equations, but poor notation and arrangement of the equations made them difficult for me to interpret correctly while standing on my feet! I hope this version does better. Note in particular charts #16-17 and the charts on Example 7 beginning with Chart #21.

In class, I mentioned the Software Carpentry project.

Here is a link to a version of the course that was given at in 2005. There are both written and audio files.

Learn Bayes

Please check out Jim Albert's blog; it has lots of useful stuff on it, and is so far not so full of information that you can't read it all at this point.
