Quantitude: The Podcast
United States
Приєднався 16 січ 2020
A podcast dedicated to all things quantitative, ranging from the relevant to the highly irrelevant. Co-hosts Patrick Curran and Greg Hancock talk about serious statistical topics, but without taking themselves too seriously. Think: CarTalk hi-jacked by the two grumpy old guys from the Muppets, grousing about quantitative methods, statistics, and data analysis, all presented to you with the production value of a 6th grade school project. But in a good way.
S6E04 Person-Centered vs. Variable-Centered Analysis
In this week's episode, Patrick and Greg talk about person-centered methods versus variable-centered methods with the punch line being that the historically contentious distinction between these two is unnecessary, unhelpful, and even counter-productive. Along the way they also mention lost luggage, Sabena Air t-shirts, the Inquisition, honey badger Americans, Fredrik Backman, punch lines, a frayed knot, the Keanu Reeves of statistics, new bosses and old bosses, non sequiturs, fffsssshhhhh, ergodicity, complimentary eye patches, and Atrick.

Such a beautiful podcast.. Very inspiring.. Keep doing.. ❤
thanks for your very kind words -- we really appreciate it!
Noah. Thanks for your work. I've enjoyed this convo.
I’m a long time fan of you guys, both in the show and your individual UA-cam videos ❤ if a fan wanted to support the channel by matching visuals to the audio for the Quantitude channel, would that be possible? 😊
Unreal, until recently I hadn't realized that Mario updated his favorite way to tackle ED and it's a relief! Although what he previously suggested was pretty good, it was a real pain to follow... I just go'ogled the latest by Mario Volpstein, it's so much simpler and potent now!
Totally unexpected, I just realized that Mario updated his favorite way to tackle ED and it's crazy! Although what he previously talked about was pretty decent, it was difficult to follow, I just go'ogled the latest by Mario Volpstein, it's so much simpler and potent now!
