Quotations
"In statistics it's enough for our results to be cool. In psychology they're supposed to be correct. In economics they're supposed to be correct and consistent with your ideology."
--Andrew Gelman, "75 best lines from my Bayesian Analysis course"
Some other selections:
- “God created the world in 7 days and we haven’t seen much of him since.” (God draws θ from an urn and then is out of the picture)
- “People don’t go around introducing you to their ex-wives.” (why model improvement doesn’t make it into papers)
