Can we draft a law preventing journalists from trying to interpret statistics?
- tokenadult 18y agoFirst let's teach college teachers of statistics (who usually aren't statisticians) how to teach statistics. One of my favorite articles on that subject http://statland.org/MAAFIXED.PDF http://statland.org/MAAFIXED.PDF is so thoughtful that I reread it from time to time just to savor the language. Another good article about how to teach statistics http://repositories.cdlib.org/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1002&context=uclastat/cts/tise http://repositories.cdlib.org/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=10... is helpful in guiding people who have studied statistics before to rethink what they think they have learned. It is by a very eminent statistician.
