Agree. Statistics > calculus for the software engineers. Statistics > calculus for most people doing research as their papers would need to interpret t-scores

Agree. Statistics > calculus for the software engineers. Statistics > calculus for most people doing research as their papers would need to interpret t-scores, z-scores, confidence intervals etc. I don't understand this fetish about calculus.
- rory 5y agoWell, you need at least some understanding of calculus to meaningfully understand statistics, don't you? A basic ability to intuit about integrals and derivatives seems like table stakes.
- peterhalburt33 5y agoTeaching only statistics and no calculus is how you end up with people such as Tai reinventing high-school calculus and attempting to use statistical methods to validate their “method”. https://math.berkeley.edu/~ehallman/math1B/TaisMethod.pdf https://math.berkeley.edu/~ehallman/math1B/TaisMethod.pdf
- rory 5y agoOof. Tough look to name the model after yourself. Why is this cited so many times?
