  1. Die Berichterstattung zur Polizeilichen Kriminalstatistik ist (erneut) ein dramatischer intellektueller Tiefflieger, unbenommen der bewussten Fehldeutungen einschlägiger Lager.

    Es bleibt zu hoffen, dass die Autoren die prägnanten statistischen Effekte stärker in den Vordergrund rücken, um falsche Instrumentalisierungen zu erschweren.

    Guter Artikel dazu: volksverpetzer.de/analyse/ausl

  11. Seven simple questions for #DecisionMakers:

    1️⃣ How big? How much? How many?
    2️⃣ Compared to what?
    3️⃣ Why not a rate?
    4️⃣ Per what? The diabolical denominator.
    5️⃣ How were things defined, counted or measured?
    6️⃣ What was taken into account (what was controlled for)?
    7️⃣ What else should have been taken into account (controlled for)?

  16. "In real life, we weigh the anticipated consequences of the decisions that we are about to make. That approach is much more rational than limiting the percentage of making the error of one kind in an artificial (null hypothesis) setting or using a measure of evidence for each model as the weight."

  32. Acc. to Milo Schield :

    "The main thing is for policymakers to treat statistics the same way they treat people. People have motives, values and agendas. So do statistics – because they were selected, assembled and presented by people who have motives, values and agendas. Statistics are closer to words than to numbers. Yes, statistics involve numbers, but statistics are numbers in context and the words give the context."

  33. The Seven Unnatural Acts of Statistical Thinking acc. to Richard D. De Veaux and Paul F. Velleman

    1. Think Critically.
    2. Be Skeptical. Question authority and the current theory.
    3. Think about variation rather than about center.
    4. Focus on what we don’t know.
    5. Perfect the Process. Our best conclusion is often a refined question.
    6. Think about conditional probabilities and rare events.
    7. Embrace vague concepts (Center, Outlier, Linear...).
