    Statistics, as a discipline, gets so little attention across all media. It's really refreshing for something like this to pop on my feed.

    • @ChrisOffner

      I've seen Sal Khan say in a TV interview that, while he personally loves Calculus and has recorded many videos about it, he thinks that given their relative usefulness in life and society, it may be overemphasised in the high school curriculum compared to Statistics. He suggested that it might be more important for high school students to acquire a basic literacy in Statistics over Calculus, and I would agree. Many public debates in politics, economics, and science are severely hampered by the fact that the public is utterly uneducated on even basic Statistics. It's hard to have evidence-based policy discussions and election campaigns if the electorate largely cannot follow the evidence.

      Inductive statistics shouldn't get attention since it's entirely fallacious.

    Statstics is a topic of math that can be defined broadly having two subtopic : descriptive statitics and inferential statistics. Descriptive stats can describe characteritics and relationships of entire data sets (populations) and samples of datasets. Examples measurements from descriptive statistics are : means, median, variance, and standard deviation. Business use inferential statitics for doing research on potential products for customers by doing surveys and doing calculations on data theyve gathered. Inferential statitics can create measurements of likelihood and mathematical confidence that some outcome or characteristic will turn out to occur/be. Science uses inferential statitics when, for example, they want to explore new medicines that they think will/will not be successful given past data they have gathered on experiments. AI research relys heavily on statistical math because we are programming the fomputer to make predictions.

    As an App Developer I'd lean towards the frequency statistic approach over the Bayesian data variations would seem to reflect more true or truthy results to me. At least if there were statistical models or something similar in my application. I've only had limited exposure to the pure math of statistics and when it got advanced I'd be reminded of why I chose coding programs over finance or move on to an MBA. From an AI perspective which of these options will prove more reliable when done by machine brains?
