Statistics for Hackers [video]
- harveywi 10y agoSimilar in spirit to John Rauser's 2014 Strata Conference + Hadoop World keynote "Statistics Without the Agonizing Pain" (https://youtu.be/5Dnw46eC-0o https://youtu.be/5Dnw46eC-0o).
- minimaxir 10y agoPrevious discussion based on an earlier 2015 version of the slide deck: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10244950 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10244950 Back then, I wrote a small tutorial on how to implement and animate the bootstrap technique in R/ggplot2 based on the talk: http://minimaxir.com/2015/09/bootstrap-resample/ http://minimaxir.com/2015/09/bootstrap-resample/
- voiceclonr 10y agoNice one!
- kensai 10y agoReally nice. Is there a similar video in R?
- babo 10y agoIs python matters here?
- kensai 10y agoNo. Does your comment answer my own question?
- babo 10y agoIs that code answers your question? No offense but the main message of that talk is if you can do a for loop than you can do statistics simulation in any programming environment. Like in R. m <- 0 nexp <- 100000 for (i in 1:nexp) { if (sum(rnorm(30, mean=0, sd=1) < 0) >= 22) { m <- m + 1 } } print(m / nexp)
- kensai 10y agoNow you are finally useful, babo. Seriously. Either not respond or respond as you just* did. Your previous reply was simply uncalled for. :) (*and I will upvote you)
- benbenolson 10y agoI actually watched the majority of this, it's a very interesting talk. I'd imagine that all of us are going to need to use at least some statistics one day, so I consider it time well spent.
- hayksaakian 10y agoi wish there was a way to 'force mono' on youtube so i could get the same audio from two sides of my headphones. sounds like a really interesting talk, but it's painful to listen to from only 1 ear.
- sceadu 10y agoI feed the URL into smplayer and force the audio to mono inside the program when it's unbalanced.
- jameskegel 10y agoOne could make a case for this feature by claiming it is an accessibility feature for the non-bilateral deaf / hard of hearing community.
- vanderZwan 10y agoAs a non-bilaterally deaf person, I agree. Although TBF, I think it should be an OS-level feature built into the sound settings, instead of asking everyone else to reinvent the wheel all the time.
- quibit 10y agoPlug your headphones only halfway into the jack.
