I agree that there are many things Fisher got wrong (eugenics, tobacco lobbying, etc.), but his contributions to statistics (e.g., maximum likelihood or ANOVA) and genetics are amo…

The Gaming Historian has a good video about the development of the game ( https://youtu.be/pfvk6CJ3v34 )

This is the typical „CS-people“ reaction to learning R. R is a language written by statisticians for statisticians which can be a good but also a bad thing. Fact is that R is the l…

Native swiss here and would not sign that swiss german can‘t be understood by germans and that it is a separate language. Austrians and germans who live at the border can very well…
