MONTHLY MEMORY LANE: 3 years ago: November 2014. I mark in red 3-4 posts from each month that seem most apt for general background on key issues in this blog, excluding those reblogged recently[1], and in green 3- 4 others of general relevance to philosophy of statistics (in months where I’ve blogged a lot)[2]. Posts that are part of a “unit” or a group count as one (11/1/14 & 11/09/14 and 11/15/14 & 11/25/14 are grouped). The comments are worth checking out.

[2] New Rule, July 30,2016, March 30,2017 -a very convenient way to allow data-dependent choices (note why it’s legit in selecting blog posts, on severity grounds).
Hmmm …
