5 Stories to Rewire Your Statistical Intuition with Ishan Goel

Hi TLCers!

I had the great pleasure to be introduced to Ishan Goel, founder of the Thinking Bell, after his most recent win from Guess the Test for Best Educational Content. Based on what I saw, I immediately reached out and asked Ishan to come do a stats intuition talk for the TLC. Thankfully, he agreed.

Description

Assumptions, equations, and Greek alphabets. Statistics has been taught the wrong way for a very long time. 

Experimenters don’t need to calculate probabilities or memorise the algorithms. A tool or a data scientist can handle that for you. What your entire team needs is an intuitive understanding of how uncertainty behaves in the real world and why insights from data are more slippery than we think. 

In this talk, I am sharing five stories that will question your inferences from data and give you a new lens to think about your experiments. You will learn to ask the right questions that will lead you to find faulty winners and rescue missed insights.

This is not a lecture on statistics. It is a discussion to change how you think about uncertainty.
