I really love these articles. You're solving very practical problems with a depth of statistics that most people never appreciate. It's really great work.
I'm sorry to hear that you feel the opportunity cost pain so severely. It might not be worth it to you in the larger scheme of things, but I think you could definitely package up and sell an expanded version of this series that spends more time elaborating the value proposition and provides some simplified decision processes for various common situations. More Fisher than Jaynes.
- hashtree 14y agoAgreed, I'd be in the market for such a book.
- btilly 14y agoFor me, the difficulty of writing goes up nonlinearly with the length of the thing that I am trying to write. If I told my wife that I was writing a book, she'd want to kill me. And I wouldn't blame her for that. This subject is particularly hard, because I'm trying to require as little background as possible, on a topic that normally requires much more.
- tel 14y agoI wouldn't think a book is necessary. A short "pamphlet" basically could be really great for (a) convincing people that statistics can be done more flexibly than they might think and (b) showing a number of case examples as to how to do it. The value of further published material might be improved by this kind of publication as well.
