Three fallacies about Covid-19
It is surprising to see the level of innumeracy in the population, even in college-educated professionals. People still have blind faith in so-called experts and… Read More »Three fallacies about Covid-19

Difference Between Correlation and Regression in Statistics
Correlation is a measure of linear association between two variables X and Y, while linear regression is a technique to make predictions, using the following model: Y = a0 + a1 X1 +… Read More »Difference Between Correlation and Regression in Statistics
Common Errors in Machine Learning due to Poor Statistics Knowledge
Probably the worst error is thinking there is a correlation when that correlation is purely artificial. Take a data set with 100,000 variables, say with… Read More »Common Errors in Machine Learning due to Poor Statistics Knowledge
