Good to see so many vampires out in search of noetsi blood tonight... I hope that is what you’re doing up, because if you are attempting to correct Russ on such fields as syntax, or spelling, them I’m afraid you will that not only is the column lost, so is the entire cause.... He's a better speller than TMarino ever was. I'll give him that. No need to jump on the "bangwaggon".  Being a better speller than TMarino is like being a better hitter than Dal Maxvill... |

Well, thank you for joining us here tonight, folks for another episode of “Typing On The Toilet”. Tune in tomorrow night when I’ll be in a two seater outhouse singing a karaoke duet with none other than a male Miley Cyrus imitator.
In the mean time, keep those pipes clean...

A real note on a statistical professor's door.
"If this was my last day on earth I would want to spend it in a statistics class - because it would seem like it goes on forever."
For real statistical humor...
A professor hands out a pop quiz and announces to the class that they have exactly 5 seconds to complete the quiz. Of course this sends the class into a frenzy and many of the students are outraged. They look down and their professor gave them a distribution and asked them to compute the mean, standard deviation, kurtosis, and skew of the distribution. "How do you expect us to do this in the matter of 5 seconds!?" the class shouts out. The professor replies "My dear class... the problems only require a few moments!"
(only a statistician will get that one. A moment has a specific meaning in math. The mean is the first moment, standard deviation is the second I think and so on).
A list of why it is great to be a statistician (I am not one, you have to be a lot better at math than I. I just use statistics).
Top ten reasons to be a statistician
Estimating parameters is easier than dealing with real life.
Statisticians are significant
I always wanted to learn the entire Greek alphabet.
The probability a statistician major will get a job is > .9999.
If I flunk out I can always transfer to Engineering.
We do it with confidence, frequency, and variability.
You never have to be right - only close.
We're normal and everyone else is skewed.
The regression line looks better than the unemployment line.
No one knows what we do so we are always right.
The last one applies to baseball managers as well.
A LOESS is not regression. Its a graphical function useful for understanding non-linearity.
It is true I can't spell.

Better than the LOESS column! Regression analysis jokes for the win!  Russ apparently has a software package called Loess...……..to an old farm boy, loess is a soil type found in states like Iowa and Nebraska....those Iowa hills where Rizzuto has his historical house are loess hills.....I doubt Russ cares anything about soil types though...…….  |

The spelling issue is not real. You just spelled every word correctly in that long post, and many were not harden-variety language. The truth is that you are not paying attention to your typing, proof reading and then posting. Admit it, Russ. You’re a smart man, whether you like it or not. We have evidence... |

Agriculture was the first place statistics was used extensively (ANOVA was created largely for this by Sir. Fischer].
To know if one truly speaks geek, one has to be able to translate this [it ends up being a common phrase]
i 8 sum pi
or this
There are only 10 types of people in the world. Those who understand binary and those that don't.

I admit to being educated, I don't think smart is actually measurable reliably [and vast effort has been invested in doing so]. Mainly I am lazy which is why I get words wrong here. |

I have used binary before, but would classify myself as one who does not understand... |

To know if one truly speaks geek, one has to be able to translate this [it ends up being a common phrase] i 8 sum pi Reminds me of the time Moe slapped Curly in the face as a corrective measure for some poor math and shouted "Pi R Square you numbskull, Pi R Square." And Curly replied quite logically "No, pie are round, cake are square." At that point Moe hit Curly over the head with a crowbar, causing great damage to said crowbar. The plot got more complex after that, and I don't want to give away the ending to those who have not yet viewed this masterpiece. |

lol pipps. The three stooges confuse me...
Inger I doubt any but a computer really need to understand binary.

In the south, the punch line is “cornbread are square.” My favorite three stooges line takes place when they are fighting the American Revolution and the general yells, “Men, fire at will!” To which Curly asks calmly, “Which one’s Will?” To an eight year old, that was comedy gold! |
