    I teach statistics to doctoral students and this is the very best description Ive ever seen of the CLT. Great job!

    Thank God for this man. Genius in not only his academic subject, but in his presentation as well. He's accomplished solo in front of a camera what years worth of instructors I've had in classrooms never could. He's inspired me to genuinely care about the material and it's all thanks to that unrelenting enthusiasm. Wish they could all be this good.

    8 minutes and 29 seconds just helped me out FAR BETTER than the 9 weeks I've been in stats so far this semester. THANK YOU!

    Central Limit Theorem: The longer you talk, the more the form of your cap follows a normal distribution.

    The image you give of the sample means dropping down to form a distribution of their own is such an ingeniously clear way to explain the CLT. Much thanks from me and my class!

    You are an amazing teacher.... If instructors had just a little of what you have, students from all over would love math and the world would be a better place. I was on the brink of hitting my head against the desk tonight while doing my statistics homework and then I watched this video. You have an amazing gift and I thank you for sharing it with us!

    With all due respect assumed, I will state that I have never viewed an MrNystrom video in its entirety. I have difficulty listening to him, and that difficulty is exacerbated if I actually look at him while attempting to listen to him. This night, however, the hypnotic spell of "distaste" may have been broken by MrNystrom himself. At the 1:44 minutes marking, MrNystrom is heard paraphrasing unnamed Joe Blows: "The central limit theorem says if you take a sample from a bimodal population the distribution of your sample will be normal-ish." And, MrNystrom delivers with style. Busted my guts. I started from my clouded state of lethargy, and laughed aloud. Hopefully, this makes it possible for me to actually tolerate his personality, so that I can benefit from his enthusiastic and helpful lessons. Humbly, I admit that my problem is my problem and is not a problem created by MrNystrom. Thank you for being here and sharing your knowledge and zest.

    Great lecture and I've watched many over the last few days. For those that do not like it or find it helpful...just keep scrolling until you find what fits you. There is no need to complain about it or even tell anyone if you like it or not. What you find helpful; others may not. Just like clothing. If a beautiful dress does not fit your body type, it don't make the dress any less beautiful.

    In the preview picture I thought you were a hipster (forgive me!) with that beard and what I thought to be a sailor touque. After watching other videos and still being confused I tried out yours. Man alive! Yours is the BEST. Rather than being some hipster your an energetic bear. Keep up the fantastic work! I'll be consuming every video you have relevant to my stats course.

  • @Vaskoravo
    @Vaskoravo 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    I must say Thanks. Was going through various pdfs and presentations but was unable to visualise the C L theorem. As you summarised "its not about the individual x, but the x bars that we are concerned. So, when you take the X bars of a number of samples and plot them in frequency distribution, we get a normal distribution curve ~N(population mean, population standard deviation/sqrt n)" . The whole CLT becomes lucid with this summarization otherwise its easy to get lost in numerous texts where they straightway dive into formulas without giving you an conceptual understanding.
