Making Bayesian statistics fun - With Sophie Carr at Ada Lovelace Day
Вставка
- Опубліковано 6 лют 2024
- Within each of us lies a superpower: a tool that can transform our discomfort into confidence if we only acknowledge that hidden within us is a statistician trying to get out.
Embrace the realm of Bayesian statistics, where uncertainty becomes a playground for the curious mind. We all grapple with the unknown everyday of our lives - from mundane to life changing decisions - and we evolve our decisions as information becomes available to us that reshapes our understanding of the world.

so well done! Thank you! Stats are for sure a superpower!
Great. Loved it! Made me look up Bayes theorem.
Definitely life of the party. Well done!
Beautiful! Could we please arrange for Stephen Fry to recite this?
Super! She has something in her thats makes me instantly like her. Great energy!
Lovely! What were the odds of a perfect recollection and performance? Lots of Easter eggs for those already inclined, perhaps more perplexing for those not of mind.
So, what's Bayesian Statistics?
Stats is the ThOne
If this were an art video then fair enough, I appreciate the poem/rhyming monologue however being so very unusual I was waiting for it to end to listen to her talk about statistics…unfortunately with every word that rhymed I was repeatedly disappointed. Also, this is so very clearly something which is only truly appreciated if you understand the statistics already; it just never got to an explanation. At the end, the question is…can you explain it please.
Lucky those name will be written in History. Stories reshape the world.
Kinda a hard watch. I get the effort but ... eh
Whatever you're smoking, can I have some?
Sounds like a poem but not successful as much a good one.
the whole thing being in rhyme makes me 1000 times less interested. Actively repelled in fact
