While nowadays everyone talk about machine learning, data science and AI, few are mentioning statistical science. Its association, The American Statistical Association, founded in 1839,… Read More »New $1 Million Biennial Prize to Revitalize Statistics
I explain here how to do it in Excel. But the principle is general. You can produce this type of visualization with other tools. There… Read More »How to Make Glowing Visualizations – Literally
This tutorial explains how to build confidence regions (the 2D version of a confidence interval) using as little statistical theory as possible. I also avoid… Read More »Dual Confidence Regions: A Simple Introduction
In this article, I explain how to easily turn data into videos. Data animations add value to your presentations. They also constitute a useful tool… Read More »Data Animation: Much Easier than you Think!
I spent much of my career in business intelligence and marketing. Programming in R was never one of my top skills. While I started programming… Read More »Neat R Plots with the Cairo Graphics Library
No, I am not a flat-earther. Quite the contrary, the ideas suggested here assume advanced scientific knowledge, such as quantum physics. The famous Cambridge-based physicist… Read More »Could we Live in a Universe with Fewer than Three Dimensions?
In part 1 here, we introduced an original class of point processes, generalizing the Poisson process which is a limiting case, in a simple and intuitive… Read More »Machine Learning Inference for Point Processes: A General, Simple Introduction with Simulations
Update: Part 2 of this article is now available, here. In this article, original stochastic processes are introduced. They may constitute one of the simplest… Read More »A Gentle, Original Approach to Stochastic Point Processes
The probability distributions introduced in this article generalize what is known as infinite convolutions of centered Bernoulli or Rademacher distributions. Some of them are singular… Read More »A New Class of Non-standard Probability Distributions
This article is part of a series about fun problems, offered with solutions. The previous one can be found here. This new problem falls in… Read More »Fun Mathematical Problem in Stochastic Geometry: Random Triangles
