Prof. John Kruschke of Indiana University gave a talk on March 23 that was very well-attended and thought-provoking, and those of us from Vassar and other area schools who attended the workshop on March 24 were treated to a very useful tutorial in how to use R to actually do Bayesian data analysis!

Stay tuned for a guide to statistics course offerings for fall, 2012!

We thank George Bull for allowing us to use his header image for our banner.  See his website, called Sharp Statistics, for “a software package for statistical analysis and data visualisation” that is designed to provide “a quick and simple way to get an overview of a data set” and “is completely free for anyone to use.”
