OMG, I almost cry with the intro message: "If you're watching this video because you're struggling in a class right now I want you to stay positive and keep your head up. If you're watching this it means you've accomplished quite a bit already. You're very smart and talented and you may have just hit a temporary rough patch. I know with the right amount of hard work, practice, and patience you can get through it. I have faith in you. Many people around you have faith in you. So, so should you." 🙏🏽
OK. Here's a level of significance for you. Watching your tutorials are full of more "Ah, ha!" moments than any other stat lessons I've viewed. I guess I can feel 95% confident that, if I view more of them, the more I'll learn. I think that computes!
Hello! Thank you so much for your comment and for sharing these videos with your classmates. Of course your most valuable resource is each other. So my advice is to get together and talk about these ideas. It will really hit home then. Good luck to you all! Best, B.
I am on the cusp of failing statistic and am a "A" student working on my Bachelors degree . Its a god sent I found your tutorials I can now see the light at a very scary dark tunnel🌷
I really hate to say this because I know my teacher try really hard, but I have learned more for the first 13 minutes of your video that I have in 3 weeks of class! The step by step slow going information really helps! Thank you so much for posting this video!
Couldn't agree with you more about the necessity of the right learning process in place. YOU have provided it. As so elequently stated by someone else below...you have my eternal gratitude! I have already shared your contact info with fellow students. I cannot believe how clear you make this so completely unclear material. Thank you!
While I'm preparing for my doctoral proficiency exam I have watched many different videos of great lecturers. All of them served me well. However you are the best that I've ever met on youtube to intensify my knowledge about statistics. Thank you very much! By the way, I'll have the exam at the end of this week :)
Brandon. I am a first year, "mature", statistics student in Dublin, Ireland and have had way too much trouble getting my head around the subject; even after a tutorial. After watching your videos, I'm finding that I am understanding the subject a lot better. The only thing I wish you would do is have a hyper link on each video to proceed to the next/appropriate video that follows.
Hi! I'm a sophomore in high school and I just wanted to thank you for all you've done to help me! I always look to you when I have trouble understanding a certain concept in stats, I'm so happy I found you on here! I love your videos so much.
I am only into this video in the first five minutes I already love it. Why? Because you start off with encouragement and a positive attitude. To me that is 80% of learning! So Thank you, I will be watching again and again!!!
Thank you for taking your own time to make these videos for those of us who need stats help. You make it easy to understand. You are GREATLY appreciated!
Brandon, I think you are one of the best teachers out there. Your work is stunningly awesome. Because of you I understand type 1 and type 11 errors. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!
Felix payne Thank you Felix! I have been blessed with amazing teachers who taught me how to learn and to love to learn. Trying to pass it on. Glad you find the videos helpful. Keep on learning my friend! Best, B.
Perfect video! I think many teachers, especially at research and not teaching institutions, struggle to present and breakdown the information to students like this. Not everyone has the time, resources, and skill to do so either. Thank you for doing this, very appreciative as a graduate student.
Hello Brandon! I must say you are a god send and wish I had found your videos sooner. I appreciate the fact you do not go thru at lightening speeds like some videos. You take time to explain concepts. My instructor just gives us notes and he does not make sure his students understand the concept given. I appreciate the effort and time you take to make your videos. Thank you again
this topic is so confusing that the moment i pause the video to write it down, i forget everything but thanks to your clear and simplified explanation that i have started to catch on the topic
Thank you! I love your fine tutorials! I'm a danish M.D now doing a ph.d. and have been struggling as in STRUGGLING with the statistics, because I find much of the literature very confusing/difficult to read, but after watching this I find it so very easy to understand! Good job! Will share it with my friends ASAP.
This video was superlative in visual content, explanation, and number of examples. It should be mandatory for all students initiating Hypothesis testing. Great job and thank you.
You have done it again. You explain concepts so well. I checked Amazon, and didn’t see any books that you’ve written. I would have purchased it right then.
Brandon - you are my HERO!!!!! Thank you so SO MUCH. I am a lecturer too (Health and Social Care and Human Biology). Retraining and doing stats for my course and research. I have forgotten so much over the years, and have been so overwhelmed by it all. I love your teaching style and use of easy to relate to examples. You have made this information enjoyable and accessible. I am so grateful I found you on TH-cam - I shall be sharing your details with all my classmates. Thanks. Tasch.
@jessamhan First thank you for your comment, but really people like yourself are my true inspiration. The fact that you are jumping into your new job with both feet and committing yourself to learning and improving after a time away from stats is a lesson for us all. I will be getting to variance in the next week or two and regression after that. Hang in there and give yourself a large pat on the back. All the best, B.
Hi Brandon- Thanks for all your great videos. I'm moving into Data Science and your statistics videos have made things simple and enjoyable. I'm a subscriber now and wish you all the best.
I am majoring in health care administration and this video was suggested by my instructor. I have a fear of math if it is not the basic adding & subtraction. In the beginning of the video I did not think that I would be able to follow, but as it turned out I was. Thank you for making it simple and I will be viewing more of your videos.
I can't begin to tell you how much your videos on hypothesis formulation/testing and type I and II errors have helped me in understanding and reviewing concepts that I haven't had any encounters with for 20-25 years. My job has recently changed to include a number of statistical technics on a need-to-be-able-to-explain basis. I hope your future release schedule will include ANOVA and multiple regression. :-) Thank you very much for the effort and time you have put into making the videos.
When one defines type I and II errors in a sentence it is hard to understand. Visual representation makes it absolutely easy to understand. Fantastic explanation. Fantastic video. I now understand type I and II errors with 99.9999% confidence. So alpha=0.000001 :-). Why cant we say accept null hypothesis instead of fail to reject null hypothesis?
I get amazed by the amount of effort you put into your videos. And this forces me to increase my usual effort of learning because I have to make notes.
Professor Foltz, Thank you so much for these videos!! You have saved me from a serious mental breakdown. I love your approach of teaching! I am a non-traditional student who went back to school 7 years ago and I am now in a graduate program. I am serious and sincere when I say you are amazing!! Please keep it going! Thank You ;0)
I am writing my stats exam on Monday and I am going through all your videos, this is going to save my grade and get me a distinction. It is amazing to have such information readily available online! Thank-you so much, and please continue making videos.
It went alright, the lecturer I have ask some pretty tough questions, but all in all I think I did good, the videos were a huge help, I had no idea what I was doing until I came here.
Hello! Factor analysis, cluster analysis, and PCA are something I plan on doing a video on at a later time. Those are well beyond intro stats. Just remember that a factor is merely a linear combination of several individual variables into a composite variable. (A weighted summary score of several variables.) Factor loading is just the correlation between each composite factor and each individual variable.
Thank you so so much sir, u really make it so easy to understand! I love this thing about you, that you spend 1st 2 min in encouraging us:) it really gives a positive framework to go ahead and listen to ur full video.. and u have simplified it so well..!! just wanna say.. thank u!
This series is great! I really appreciate everything you present. The one thing that would it better is giving the videos numbers. I am not sure which video comes after this one.
Excellent video Dr. Foltz, really easy-understanding manner to explain this complicated subject. Your videos have been really useful to help me better comprehend statistics. Thanks.
I have tears of joy! I finally get it. Thank you so much this video made the concept understandable. Keep up the great teaching. I am telling my classmates about your site.
Love the Series! Are there any problem sets to go with this series? Always 'locks it in' to work problems after reviewing the academic material....Thanks for the truly GREAT job and amazing effort putting all this together!
Hi Brandon, Thank you for this very easy to understand video! You have a gift with teaching. I am currently studying in a doctoral program at Johns Hopkins and have struggled with statistics. Your videos are amazing! Thank you for being an awesome person - I will be connecting with you on LinkedIn!
Kelly Galanis Thanks so much! Glad you find the channel helpful. And yes thank you for the invitation on LinkedIn. Good luck in your doctoral work. If I can ever be of help please let me know. Best, B.
Thanks Arthur! Greetings from Cincinnati, Ohio. I hope to visit there someday before I go sliding sideways into the grave on fire. And thanks for sharing. The best thing to share with your friends, is YOU so you can learn from each other. All the very best, B.
First od all, thank you very much for your goodness for shareing your knowlage. Your classes are so good and easy to understand. And, i may mistake, but in the video there is part sayin that (alfa*100)% if fancy way of saying 95%, but alfa is 0.05...maybe you mean ((1-alfa)*100)% is 95% ? All the best Brandon, you are so good teacher, and keep doing it! Greeting from Bosnia and Herzegovina!
Thank you for explaining how and why these stats work. I am trying to understand statistics in the context of medical research, and these videos are wonderful. Can you make more playlists that put the videos in order? I want to follow your videos through each concept; the play lists are a big help! Could you make a video (or videos) that review each of the major topics? I'd love to see a video or a few that review basic concepts from the beginning, so I can see how they all fit together -- beginning from descriptive stats (mean, median, standard deviation) going through to z, t, f, anova/chi squared. I've seen all your wonderful lectures, I'd love a review that puts it together. You're doing so much already, however, so take this as a complement! Thanks so much!!!
@16:21 do you mean (1-alpha)*100 should be in the nonrejection region?
Hardika Dhir yes
I think he was mistaken by this!! he could add comment on the video to inform others.
I did misspeak at this part. Pinned the comment. Thanks everyone for pointing it out. Sorry! 😬
Exactly, But "To Err" in teaching "Errors" is just human
Thank you very much for leaving a comment on this

Yea, his words are very reassuring.

James Franck Haha! Thanks James! My schooling was fool of those moments too with great teachers. Glad to be able to give back. :)
If all students had a teacher like you the world would be a different place. Great job.

This video is the best on hypothesis errors. I struggled the whole day today but now learned it with outmost clarity. Thanks.

Hi Brandon- Thanks for all your great videos. I'm moving into Data Science and your statistics videos have made things simple and enjoyable. I'm a subscriber now and wish you all the best.
Thank you so much for these videos, and especially the pep talk at the beginning. This is a great help for me with my quantitative methods course!
I am majoring in health care administration and this video was suggested by my instructor. I have a fear of math if it is not the basic adding & subtraction. In the beginning of the video I did not think that I would be able to follow, but as it turned out I was. Thank you for making it simple and I will be viewing more of your videos.
This kind of flawless explanation comes only when you love to do..Thank you for spending time to provide great learning..appreciated
I can't begin to tell you how much your videos on hypothesis formulation/testing and type I and II errors have helped me in understanding and reviewing concepts that I haven't had any encounters with for 20-25 years.

Thank you very much for the effort and time you have put into making the videos.
u better than any text book,best way presentation is laid out to understand to any lay man
Thank you so much for making this video!! The moderate pace and especially the visualisation make everything crystal clear !
When one defines type I and II errors in a sentence it is hard to understand. Visual representation makes it absolutely easy to understand. Fantastic explanation. Fantastic video. I now understand type I and II errors with 99.9999% confidence. So alpha=0.000001 :-).

how did your exam go?
It went alright, the lecturer I have ask some pretty tough questions, but all in all I think I did good, the videos were a huge help, I had no idea what I was doing until I came here.
Thank you! I will suggest this to my university students! Very clear! I appreciate that you do not over-intellectualize concepts/topic. best--LLM
Thank you SO much! I finally got it after daaays of stressing over it. Two thumbs up!
Your positive encouragement at the very beginning earned you a Like, sir. Thank you.
Thanks a lot ! this video helped me clear my misconceptions that I had. Now i am able to relate to central limit theorem and its importance.
Hello! Factor analysis, cluster analysis, and PCA are something I plan on doing a video on at a later time. Those are well beyond intro stats.

Outstanding job. I really appreciate the time you took to put this together. I look forward to your other videos to aid in my studies.

Great teaching!!!! Kudos to you!!!
thanks Brandon for the amazing videos !!
that is my first time to understand statistics, thanks Brandon
Thank you, kind Sir.
I totally agree with Callahan. The playlists are a big help.
Hi Logan! If you go to my channel and sort the videos by playlist they are already sorted by topic and sequence.Can you see those?
YOU TEACH SO WELL!!! THANK YOU
Sir, I wish I could thank you over phone 😊
I was very much frustrated with this tropic. But now, it’s like water to me 😌
May God Bless YOU
This video was pure gold!
Thank you - I am finally beginning to understand
Great lecture, thanks Brandon..
Really nice job Brandon, please keep up the good work
Very good and well articulated video brandon !!

Awesome, many thanks sir!
well explained the concepts. easy to understand.
Excellent tutoring, thanks a lot!!!!!
Awesome video! Thank you!
You could have monetised your hypothesis testing playlist. Great Effort. 100+ Likes.
Amazing video. Watching it in 2020.
Mr. Brandon, Thanks alot.
More than perfect. specially the point of the relation between alfa and beta errors.
I am enjoying your videos . Actually its better than a text book to be followed .
I appreciate your effort .
I appreciate your viewership. Thank you for watching and learning!
I really appreciate your videos! You are a gifted teacher, thanks for sharing your knowledge. :)
I have an oral exam tomorrow for my masters in clinical research. Your videos help me understand on how to verbalise concepts. lets see if I pass, :)
your work is awesome !
Fantastic and superb explanation
just great...a big help...thank you...
Great Lessons Brandon
Good explanation indeed!
Thank you, its really helpful.
Thank you for explaining how and why these stats work. I am trying to understand statistics in the context of medical research, and these videos are wonderful. Can you make more playlists that put the videos in order? I want to follow your videos through each concept; the play lists are a big help! Could you make a video (or videos) that review each of the major topics? I'd love to see a video or a few that review basic concepts from the beginning, so I can see how they all fit together -- beginning from descriptive stats (mean, median, standard deviation) going through to z, t, f, anova/chi squared. I've seen all your wonderful lectures, I'd love a review that puts it together. You're doing so much already, however, so take this as a complement! Thanks so much!!!
Thanks so much! Awesome work
You are the best of best !!
Thank you! I am very grateful.
Well explained!
Thanks For such a great mind-penetrating videos. Your Words of encouragement is awesome !
So, so helpful. Thank you.
This is absolutely fantastic video.I think there is typo error in Two -tailed Test Rejection region . right to the bail curve, it should be 95%.
Truly amazing! Many thanks!!
RobynLynn
Great teaching video, thank you
Zahra Shafaee Thank you Zarha! Glad you found it helpful. :) Keep on learning! Best, B.
