The problem with medicine is a problem of specificity and sensitivity. The most important statistical
Technique in Medicine is RR (relative risk). In sum, we are not smart enough nor do we have the data to increase the efficiency of medicine.
It's not the stress of his job that is graying his hair it is the fact that BO continues to smoke cigarettes. shameful (particulry since his major accomplishment is ACA.)
Bugs me when an analysis doesn't start with a visual inspection of the data. How about a plot of DUIs vs Time? is it linear? Next does it show a discontinuity at some pint in time? what effect does changing the bin size (time) have?
Hello Uber, a better study would be the number of ER visits cuases by suspected drunk driving. Hire me. There are data scientists and there are creative data scientists.
Great Comment: Having studied graduate statistics within the stats department and a data mining within the CS dept, It amazing how well the CS crowd has rebranded statistics into something you can talk about at a bar without people's eyes glazing over.
There is no "test" for autism, no blood market, no brain scan. What is the false positive number? This sounds like the diagnosis for "hysteria" in women 50 years ago .
The Court should provide machine (processor) level protection and rule that high level programming is obvious, in that it requires only routine experimentation. The challenge for the court is how to make room for machines whose novelty is a software control. I would argue that there should be a moving element test. Is there a software/hardware interface.
The solution might be to limit protection to machine code and the improvements in semiconductor design and conclude that higher level programming is routine experimentation (call it if a pimple faced teen can develop it in a hackathon it is per se obvious).
This is awesome science (I would say a little more worthy of a kickstarter than Another burger joint). Fukushima is the Chernobyl of the sea, hopefully someone will do similar research to study it.
This is expensive $$ for the project. I assume that this burger retails for $8-10 dollars and that his location will sell 200 burgers a day. So he is giving up 1% of revenues for 1 1/2 years! Freemium doesn't work in the restaurant space.
