> if ... the null hypothesis were true (i.e., social media does not cause harm to teen mental health), then the published studies would just reflect random noise2 and Type I errors (believing something that is false). In that case, we’d see experimental studies producing a wide range of findings, including many that showed benefits to mental health from using social media (or that showed harm to those who go off of social media for a few weeks). Yet there are hardly any such experimental findings.

I recently discovered the tidyplots package in R, and it’s impressive how effortlessly it enables you to create beautiful, publication-ready plots.

The example visualizations shown here were created by the package author, Jan Broder Engler, and are featured on the tidyplots website: https://jbengler.github.io/tidyplots/

Basic boxplots are often not the best way to visualize your data! They can hide important information, such as the distribution of individual data points or group-specific differences.

The attached visual showcases several ways to enhance boxplots.

All of these examples were created using ggplot2 and extensions in R.

> ... de Moivre's equation in action. The variation of the mean is inversely proportional to the sample size, so small counties display much greater variation than large counties. A county with, say, 100 inhabitants that has no cancer deaths would be in the lowest category. But if it has 1 cancer death it would be among the highest. Counties like Los Angeles, Cook or Miami-Dade with millions of inhabitants do not bounce around like that.

> The term histogram was first used by Karl Pearson in his 1895 lectures on statistical graphics. The stem-and-leaf plot, which is a variant of the histogram, was introduced by the U.S. statistician John Tukey in 1970. In the words of Tukey,
> “Whereas a histogram uses a nonquantitative mark to indicate a data value, clearly the best type of mark is a digit.”

The command line is the best tool...
... the command line is more powerful... saves you time and fulfills ethical obligations. With a command script, each analysis documents itself... years from now you can come back to your analysis and replicate it exactly. You can re-use your old files and send them to colleagues. Pointing and clicking, however, leaves no trail of breadcrumbs...

Decision trees are a powerful tool in data science for making decisions and predictions based on data. They work by splitting data into branches based on specific criteria, allowing for clear and interpretable decisions. When used correctly, decision trees can significantly enhance the accuracy and interpretability of models.

The Standard Error measures how much a sample statistic, like the mean, is expected to vary from the true population parameter. It helps us understand the precision of our estimates and how much confidence we can place in our results.

I wanted to make a visualization using the survival numbers for Stepehen Jay Gould's cancer in _The Median is Not The Message_. It might be a good way to see, and remember "right-skewed" and be an anecdote for use in the introductory section "Why learn statistics" at the start of a course. But I don't know how to get the numbers so I'll follow the suggestion to use Japanese age data for a left-skewed example.

Understanding the Law of Large Numbers (LLN) is crucial for anyone working with statistics and probability. The LLN states that as the number of trials in an experiment increases, the average of the results becomes closer to the expected value.
