  • Our ability to use data effectively to make decisions or understand the world depends on our ability to see patterns and abstract from those patterns.

    Felicia B LeClere (1958 - )

  • The key to good decision making is evaluating the available information - the data - and combining it with your own estimates of pluses and minuses.

    Emily Fair Oster (1980- )

  • America is shamefully inadequate at teaching statistics. A student can travel from kindergarten to a Ph.D. without ever encountering the subject. Yet statistics are ubiquitous in life, and so should be statistical reasoning.

    Alan S. Blinder (1945 - )

  • by Maarten Manhoff (1972 - )

    Nothing is not, said he,
    The absence of anything.
    Why so?, said she.
    Because, said he,
    Recall Aristotle?
    Well no, said she.
    It's so subtle, said he.
    There are two varieties
    Of empty cells, you see,
    Empty of necessity
    And empty accidentally, said he.
    Uh?, said she,
    I don't get it.
    It's Nothing, said he,
    Forget it.
