Glad I could laugh. When I can get jokes about a concept, then I know I understand the concept, to some "degree". Thank you.
That was the best explanation I've ever heard.
You are the best.
Greetings from Egypt.
My dude is a hypeman for statistics! Love it. Clear and engaging metafors, nice vid.
Lol this was awesome, despite super intense delivery it was really awesome with the old school 40s music, and made it feel wholesome. And very helpful metaphor.
This has to be the best thing you've ever made for humanity. You made me smile. Thanks :)
I have to agree with Mendy, I don't understand why stats professors explain things by using more stats terms that they know their students are struggling to understand. Thank you for using human language! 😄
exactly!
I finally got clear the concept of degrees of freedom only after watching your videos. Great works keep it up!
Thanks!
Dude, I love you. You are amazing in so many ways. Your enthusiasm and levity combined with simple real world examples makes a boring AF subject come alive in more than one way! In particular, it makes more sense!!!
P.s also a photographer that is learning stats - albeit for psych ;)
P.p.s this is Fred the partner of Hannah >.
Thank you so much, you've helped a peruvian student
OK, this was amazing.
Brilliant, best explanation I've heard
mf explains this in 6minutes while my computational statistics professor cant explain this in 2 lectures
I love the way of Your teaching
I loved it! Very engaging 🔥
The best explanation of SD.
Awesome! Well done
Finally I understood it! Thank you. I hope you can gret some milk and eggs for that nice boy.
UA-cam money pays for my meals.....I’ll watch more
OMG I was looking for someone who can teach stats like this! your videos are awesome and hilarious 😂 keep it up!
These are very good videos. Thank you for making them.
These videos are excellent
This was helpful. Thank you :)
what is a numerator df and a denominator df
Your son is adorable! Give him all the ice cream he wants for breakfast!!!!
Terrific 🙏
Thanks!
No problem!
by why 'degrees' (rather than number of {freedoms})?
Usually the answer to this question comes down to statisticians' arrogance and need to show off.

Hi, you talk about your Jasp module. Do you intent to implement it into jamovi as well (the Flexplot module in jamovi is less complete than its jasp counterpart)?
Kinda. I'm actually going to collaborate with the maker of the gamlj module for the automation of model graphics, then beef up the flexplot part.
Hi! The link is not there for the paper you cited
It's there now :)
Thank youuuuu
Great video as always! I know spending a lot of DF is bad, but I never really get the reason why. This video helps!
EDIT: So then how's the remaining degrees of freedom used in a statistical test? Is it the actual "sample size" that we use to estimate our parameters?
The remaining degrees of freedom are used to compute P values. You may remember from intro stats that you had to look up the significant P value for a given test statistic (for example T), and for a given degrees of freedom.
Thanks! By the way, I really like your working hours metaphor. It is much easier to explain IMHO.
