Ship Statinfasst
We’re embarking on a leisurely cruise through the highlights of Statistical Inference as Severe Testing [SIST]: How to Get Beyond the Statistics Wars (CUP 2018) this fall (Oct-Jan), following the 5 seminars I led for a 2020 London School of Economics (LSE) Graduate Research Seminar. It had to be run online due to Covid (as were the workshops that followed). Unlike last fall, this time I will include some zoom meetings on the material, as well as new papers and topics of interest to attendees. In this relaxed (self-paced) journey, excursions that had been covered in a week, will be spread out over a month [i] and I’ll be posting abbreviated excerpts on this blog. Look for the posts marked with the picture of ship StatInfAsSt. [ii]
We set sail October 1. Below I paste the author’s proofs of what I plan for the October tours below. A link to the materials from the LSE Graduate Seminar, along with videos of the sessions, all on phil-stat-wars.com, is at the end of this post.
Interested in joining us? Please email Jean Miller (jemille6@vt.edu), with your background and interests using the subject line “2025 Leisurely Cruise”, and she will send you a clean copy of the monthly materials. Questions? Write me at error@vt.edu.
In the initial writing of this book, I benefitted enormously from the comments on early drafts by readers of this blog. This fall, I will share some updates, including remarks on what I would change. [iii] I’m hoping for some great discussion in the comment sections on this blog!
