Ll be talking at the nyu business school, in the department of information, operations, and management sciences, this fri, 8 dec 2017, at 12:30, in room kmc 4-90 (wherever that is):Little data: how traditional statistical ideas remain relevant in a big-data world; or, the statistical crisis in science; or, open problems in bayesian data analysis. Recent developments in the social and medical sciences have made it clear that our usual statistical prescriptions, adapted as they were to a simpler world of agricultural experiments and random-sample surveys, fail badly and repeatedly in the modern world in which millions of research papers are published each year. It seems funny to go to the trouble of informing people you’ve written all these books, and then not even share the titles with , it seems that graham wrote 10 books before the age of 30, then he wrote member of the club, then he wrote two more books (proversity and our kind of people) between 1997 and 1999, one more (the senator and the socialite) in 2006, then nothing since.

S a sad reflection on the state of the american science establishment that this sort of obviously bad work (the original ages-ending-in-9 paper, that is) was published by the national academy of sciences. The hypothesis seems so logically compelling that it becomes easy to presume that it must be true, and to presume that the natural science literature on the hypothesis is an unproblematic avalanche of supporting findings.
