… my Statistics exam and I have come up with some final notes –
- I can’t remember things that aren’t personally meaningful (i.e. the stuff I don’t get).
- I don’t get statistics.
- Therefore, I will not be able to rote learn Advanced Statistics in a one-night-cramming session.
If I am to undertake this exam I cannot be sober.
- If I am not sober I am either drunk or hungover.
- I will not be drunk because the exam is at 9 am and I haven’t gotten that bad yet.
- Therefore, I will be hungover.
You can imagine the state I am in.
On the upside- haven’t I just nailed formal logic!?
Miracles can happen, right? All those assumptions tests for outliers must mean they exist. Or are they just errors in measurement?
Last glass – here’s to unsystematic variance, the imperfect theory of psychometrics, its continued misuse and misinterpretation and the other unmeasurable f-test, faith.
