Distinguished University Professorship Lecture and Reception
Roderick J. Little, Richard D. Remington Distinguished University Professor of Biostatistics, School of Public Health, College of Literature, Science, and the Arts, Institute for Social Research
"The Joy of Stats: So Much More than Bean-Counting!"
Statistics is much more than mere facts, it is data science. I outline some important contributions of statistics to science and society. I review the Bayes versus frequentist controversy, and a compromise position, Calibrated Bayes. These ideas are applied to a case study on assessing the efficacy of homeopathic treatments.
