MONTHLY MEMORY LANE: 3 years ago: January 2015. 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 2-3 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.
