2 0.23145363 207 andrew gelman stats-2010-08-14-Pourquoi Google search est devenu plus raisonnable?
Introduction: A few months ago I questioned Dan Ariely’s belief that Google is the voice of the people by reporting the following bizarre options that Google gave to complete the simplest search I could think of: Several commenters gave informed discussions about what was going on in Google’s program. Maybe things are better now, though? The latest version seems much more reasonable: (Aleks sent this to me, then I checked on my own computer and got the same thing.)
3 0.18767433 1980 andrew gelman stats-2013-08-13-Test scores and grades predict job performance (but maybe not at Google)
Introduction: Eric Loken writes : If you’re used to Google upending conventional wisdom, then yesterday’s interview with Laszlo Bock in the New York Times did not disappoint. Google has determined that test scores and transcripts are useless because they don’t predict performance among its employees. . . . I [Loken] am going to assume they’re well aware of the limits of their claim, and instead I’m going say that as readers of the interview we should not lose sight of a fundamental fact - Across a wide variety of employment settings, one of the most robust findings in organizational psychology is that tests of cognitive ability are strong predictors of job performance. If Google has found otherwise, what they have found is that grades and test scores are not predictive of performance at Google. In general, in the workplace tests are still highly predictive of success. If all the research says that test scores and grades predict performance, why would the people at Google want to igno

2 0.73495185 724 andrew gelman stats-2011-05-21-New search engine for data & statistics
Introduction: Jon Goldhill points us to a new search engine, Zanran , which is for finding data and statistics. Goldhill writes: It’s useful when you’re looking for a graph/table rather than a single number. For example, if you look for ‘teenage births rates in the united states’ in Zanran you’ll see a series of graphs. If you check in Google, there’s plenty of material – but you’d have to open everything up to see if it had any real numbers. (I hope you’ll appreciate Zanran’s preview capability as well – hovering over the icons gives a useful preview of the content.)

Introduction: Eric Tassone writes: Here’s something that may be of interest and useful to your readers, and which I [Tassone] am just now checking out myself. It links R and the Google Visualization API/Google Chart Tools to make Motion Charts (as used in the well known Hans Rosling TED talk) easier to create directly in R. The website is here , and here ‘s a blog about how to use it, including some R code that actually works (if the user has all the requisite libraries, of course) in your own browser.

5 0.7685914 1784 andrew gelman stats-2013-04-01-Wolfram on Mandelbrot
Introduction: The most perfect pairing of author and subject since Nicholson Baker and John Updike. Here’s Wolfram on the great researcher of fractals : In his way, Mandelbrot paid me some great compliments. When I was in my 20s, and he in his 60s, he would ask about my scientific work: “How can so many people take someone so young so seriously?” In 2002, my book “A New Kind of Science”—in which I argued that many phenomena across science are the complex results of relatively simple, program-like rules—appeared. Mandelbrot seemed to see it as a direct threat, once declaring that “Wolfram’s ‘science’ is not new except when it is clearly wrong; it deserves to be completely disregarded.” In private, though, several mutual friends told me, he fretted that in the long view of history it would overwhelm his work. In retrospect, I don’t think Mandelbrot had much to worry about on this account. The link from the above review came from Peter Woit, who also points to a review by Brian Hayes wit
