Comments on: I woke up and suddenly understood Bayesian statistics… http://scienceblog.darrouzet-nardi.net/?p=17 Mon, 10 Mar 2008 20:52:24 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=5.7.1 By: Anthony http://scienceblog.darrouzet-nardi.net/?p=17&cpage=1#comment-14 Mon, 10 Mar 2008 20:52:24 +0000 http://anthony.darrouzet-nardi.net/scienceblog/?p=17#comment-14 Brian, thanks for your comment, drunken or not! And don’t worry: I am correspondingly intimidated when I see all of your rad snow physics data. After we do the snow survey later this month, perhaps I will write a post on snow biogeochemistry and you can go buck wild. Please do visit again!

I didn’t know you had such an awesome Web site.

I know you are insane—–ly brilliant. It’s SO cool that you now understand baye-stats. Statistics itself is too complex for me. I barely understand average, variation, min, max, and stuff like that. I literally flunked basic stats in undergrad. Anyway, I’m learning the hard way that to be able to do good data analysis, it is imperative that I know my stats. I wish model development was simple like back in the days when Boyle, Charles, and Gay-Lussac only needed to know how to draw a straight line with their dataset. I won’t say I could do that because honestly I don’t 100% understand linear regressions!

I’ll bookmark this blog and hopefully drop some scientific comments instead of this rant style comment. That stats model fit vs prediction post is…good stuff. I need to think more before I say more. I already sound like a drunk typing. (I’m really not drunk, though.)
