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/

That's beautiful.

This is cool. Slightly OT but I saw the word animate and I got excited because I'm in the market for some easy to use animation software. Krita & Synfig just aren't doing it for me. The best one I ever used was a web app built a decade ago by an iirc ~12 year Korean American kid. It seems to have disappeared off the web but it was just amazing for usability. Anyone remember it / the name of it?

After surveying the available options (including both free programs and non-subscription paid ones like Cartoon Animator 4), I’ve just been getting started with OpenToonz. It seems very good so far. It’s by no means simple software—it’s capable of a lot and has the UI complexity to match, so it takes some time investment to learn what it’s capable of; but for my own purposes at least I reckon that investment (which has been maybe ten hours) is worthwhile.

Amazing examples. Great library. Coupled with the Intersection Observer API[0], this software could add a lot of value to an instructive app or website. Imagine these beautiful annotations tastefully animating as various elements are observed as the user scrolls.

Was it any of these? http://antimatter15.com/ajaxanimator/wave/ or https://antimatter15.com/ajaxanimator/stick2/stick2.html

I made it about 10 years ago when I was 12. If it was me, I'm actually Chinese-American. If not, I'd love to meet whoever the /other/ 12 year old writing animation software was.

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 ;)

Sorry I should have said asian. I can't believe that it's still online and that you responded. So happy. Thanks!

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 alpacas so a mix of blue and red alpacas) take the same measurement (average of group a - average of group b)

Count the number of times that the difference was as good or better as your original measurement and you will find out the odds that being in your treatment group made a difference. (If random groupings show similar measurements then it means it's more likely that your specific treatment/control group did nothing).
