1 Year Ago Today: “The Statistics Wars and Their Casualties” workshop

 

It’s been 1 year (December 8, 2022) since our workshop, The Statistics Wars and Their Casualties! There were four sessions, held over 4 days. Below are the videos and slides from all four sessions of the Workshop. The first two sessions were held on September 22 & 23, 2022. Session 1 speakers were: Deborah Mayo (Virginia Tech), Richard Morey (Cardiff University), Stephen Senn (Edinburgh, Scotland). Session 2 speakers were:  Daniël Lakens (Eindhoven University of Technology),  Christian Hennig (University of Bologna), Yoav Benjamini (Tel Aviv University).  The last two sessions were held on December 1 and 8. Session 3 speakers were: Daniele Fanelli (London School of Economics and Political Science), Stephan Guttinger (University of Exeter), and David Hand (Imperial College London).  Session 4 speakers were: Jon Williamson (University of Kent),  Margherita Harris  (London School of Economics and Political Science), Aris Spanos (Virginia Tech), and Uri Simonsohn (Esade Ramon Llull University).
