==== Abstract ==== | |||
Regardless of your statistical abilities, Tom thinks he can give you a better grasp of some fundamental statistical concepts. Tom finds math easier to understand when it is drawn. With the help of some doodles on paper, Tom will explain the purpose and meaning of various measures of the relationships between different variables (specifically covariance, variance, correlation and least-squares regression). This class assumes literally '''no knowledge of math''', not even basic arithmetic. But attendees will probably know at least something about math, and Tom will try to skip things that attendees already know as to not bore them. | |||

Logistical notes from Tom, in first person | |||
* I could do this on a different day. | |||
* I've done this class many times, but I've never recorded it and put it on the internet. If people are fine being recorded, I'd like to video the class. | |||
