Love this (and all of Preet’s work). Made a statistics visual awhile back using roughjs[0], seems like the perfect setting with which to add roughnotation :) [0] https://www.jwilber.me/permutationtest/

You know, it's funny that presumably this explanation of the permutation test is intended for people with very little / no knowledge of statistics. And yet, I still don't get it. Like, at all. I feel like I'd make a very bad data scientist ;)

Woah this site is something else. I'm having a really hard time following. What does it do? What is a token?

Your comment is so weird to me. Did we check the same page? Are you and alt account that is trying to promote that page?

I am not an alt of whoever that person is. Which page did you check? Why is my comment weird?

I kinda don't want to put it into words, since speaking ill of anyone's project isn't my thing. But, you're looking at someone pricing basic gif interactions and integration behind a "token"-money system a'la mobile games. It's not adding anything special either, it's literally using the 1996 GIF format with some js stuff. You'll find this and it's like without much trouble, or be able to code it yourself if you really like wrong solutions.

So tl;dr: It's a tech that's a couple of decades too late, with an egregious pricing method, and throwing in the word "intelligence" for who knows why.

If someone want's to do this, hey, I don't want to stop them. Go for it. But looking at that, and going "Woah this site is something else." and asking about the tokens? You can probably see how I can think you might have something to do with that page?

Unless. "Woah this site is something else." as in... this looks like a parody of something, or otherwise a joke, then yeah. It totally does look like something else.

So, anyways. You did ask. I know it makes me seem like an ass for putting it into words.

Yeah, "Woah this site is something else" -> This is hot garbage, why the eff would you make it?

The first measurement made (between the red and blue groups) shows a difference between the average wool quality of the two groups. Since the members were selected at random, you might conclude that the new shampoo is working because, what are the odds that you just picked all the good alpacas at random? That's what we're checking. For several permutations of different groups (each group is a new random slection of a…

And now I get it. That's all the explanation I needed. Thank you :)
