Introduction: Of Beauty, Sex, and Power: Statistical Challenges in Estimating Small Effects. At the Institute of Policy Research, Thurs 7 Apr 2011, 3.30pm . Regular blog readers know all about this topic. ( Here are the slides.) But, rest assured, I don’t just mock. I also offer constructive suggestions. My last talk at Northwestern was fifteen years ago. Actually, I gave two lectures then, in the process of being turned down for a job enjoying their chilly Midwestern hospitality. P.S. I searched on the web and also found this announcement which gives the wrong title.

Introduction: Here’s what I’ll talk about for 3 hours : Statistics—Inside and Outside the Classroom (1) Of Beauty, Sex, and Power: Statistical Challenges in the Estimation of Small Effects . A silly example of the frequencies of boy and girl babies leads us to some important research involving the meaning of statistical significance. (2) Mathematics, Statistics, and Political Science . We explore the differences between mathematical and statistical thinking, developing the ideas using examples from my own research in political science. (3) Statistics Teaching Activities . For twenty years I have been collecting class-participation demonstrations in statistics and probability. Here are some of my favorites.

Introduction: At the City University of New York Graduate Center, 365 Fifth Avenue (between 34th and 35th street), room 6002. The topic: causality and statistical learning . Announcement is here (scroll down). It says that if you would like to attend any event, please respond by emailing datamining@gc.cuny.edu I’m also giving a shorter talk on the same topic in the Sustainable Development Seminar Series 4pm Monday 29 Apr in room 407 International Affairs Bldg (at 118th St. and Amsterdam Ave.). It’s just a coincidence that I’m giving the same talk twice. I was asked at different times to speak for these groups. When someone asks me to speak, I let them pick from recent talks on the list .
Introduction: My talks at Cambridge this Wed and Thurs in the department of Machine Learning . Powerpoints are here and here . Also some videos are here (but no videos of the “Nothing is Linear, Nothing is Additive” talk).

Introduction: Nathan Sanders writes: Applications are now open for the Communicating Science 2013 workshop (http://workshop.astrobites.com/), to be held in Cambridge, MA on June 13-15th, 2013. Graduate students at US institutions in all fields of science and engineering are encouraged to apply – funding is available for travel expenses and accommodations. The application can be found here: http://workshop.astrobites.org/application Participants will build the communication skills that technical professionals need to express complex ideas to their peers, experts in other fields, and the general public. There will be panel discussions on the following topics: * Engaging Non-Scientific Audiences * Science Writing for a Cause * Communicating Science Through Fiction * Sharing Science with Scientists * The World of Non-Academic Publishing * Communicating using Multimedia and the Web In addition to these discussions, ample time is allotted for interacting with the experts and with att
5 0.79908323 1940 andrew gelman stats-2013-07-16-A poll that throws away data???
Introduction: Mark Blumenthal writes: What do you think about the “random rejection” method used by PPP that was attacked at some length today by a Republican pollster. Our just published post on the debate includes all the details as I know them. The Storify of Martino’s tweets has some additional data tables linked to toward the end. Also, more specifically, setting aside Martino’s suggestion of manipulation (which is also quite possible with post-stratification weights), would the PPP method introduce more potential random error than weighting? From Blumenthal’s blog: B.J. Martino, a senior vice president at the Republican polling firm The Tarrance Group, went on an 30-minute Twitter rant on Tuesday questioning the unorthodox method used by PPP [Public Policy Polling] to select samples and weight data: “Looking at @ppppolls new VA SW. Wondering how many interviews they discarded to get down to 601 completes? Because @ppppolls discards a LOT of interviews. Of 64,811 conducted
