  1. ಪಿನ್ ಮಾಡಿದ ಟ್ವೀಟ್

    The second law of bullshit dynamics: the amount of bullshit in any isolated system is non-decreasing in time.

  2. interview on our Calling Bullshit course - The Fine Art of Sniffing Out Crappy Science:

  3. New Calling Bullshit case study: the gender gap in 100 m sprint times. A cautionary tale against over-extrapolation.

  4. Today in big data / ML hubris: No biases? Unless, say, training set was determined by human beings, as theirs was.

  5. Y-axis in pic#2 exaggerates other generat'n by changing interval size half way down. Borders on scientific fraud.

  6. Ah y-axis truncation! Here's the infamous "duck curve" of CA solar output & the full picture

  7. Apparently we had a broken link "correlation does not imply causation" on our syllabus. Here's what you all were missing.

  12. This is an excellent and very creative initiative (& the teaching will be great, I'm sure). I'd take this course.

  13. Our first "tools and tricks" article deals with misleading use of axes in data graphics, including this travesty.

ಲೋಡಿಂಗ್ ಸಮಯ ಸ್ವಲ್ಪ ತೆಗೆದುಕೊಳ್ಳುತ್ತಿರುವಂತೆನಿಸುತ್ತದೆ.

Twitter ಸಾಮರ್ಥ್ಯ ಮೀರಿರಬಹುದು ಅಥವಾ ಕ್ಷಣಿಕವಾದ ತೊಂದರೆಯನ್ನು ಅನುಭವಿಸುತ್ತಿರಬಹುದು. ಮತ್ತೆ ಪ್ರಯತ್ನಿಸಿ ಅಥವಾ ಹೆಚ್ಚಿನ ಮಾಹಿತಿಗೆ Twitter ಸ್ಥಿತಿಗೆ ಭೇಟಿ ನೀಡಿ.
