What Statistics Can and Can’t Tell Us About Ourselves - New Yorker Book Review

This is a link to an intriguing review of David Spiegelhalter's new book, "The Art of Statistics," which does a good job of explaining the limits of what statistical analysis will let us predict and the dilemmas of using big data sets.  It touches on a topic of CROW from more than a year ago, research on "power posing," about research that resulted in non-replicable findings and why that might be and what scientists need to do about it.  Sounds like a good book - future book club material?

And if you can't follow the link, email me and I'll send you a copy of the review, which I can't post here.   Connie
