The Analytics Power Hour#267: Regression? It Can be Extraordinary! (OLS FTW. IYKYK.) with Chelsea Parlett-Pelleriti
Why? Or… y? What is y? Why, it’s mx + b! It’s the formula for a line, which is just a hop, a skip, and an error term away from the formula for a linear regression! On the one hand, it couldn’t be simpler. On the other hand, it’s a broad and deep topic. You’ve got your parameters, your feature engineering, your regularization, the risks of flawed assumptions and multicollinearity and overfitting, the distinction between inference and prediction… and that’s just a warm-up! What variables would you expect to be significant in a model aimed at predict...2025-03-181h 01

Learning Bayesian StatisticsSilly & Empowering Statistics, with Chelsea Parlett-PelleritiYou wanna know something funny? A sentence from this episode became a meme. And people even made stickers out of it! Ok, that’s not true. But if someone could pull off something like that, it would surely be Chelsea Parlett-Pelleriti.Indeed, Chelsea’s research focuses on using statistics and machine learning on behavioral data, but her more general goal is to empower people to be able to do their own statistical analyses, through consulting, education, and, as you may have seen, stats memes on Twitter.A full-time teacher, researcher and statistical consultant, Chelsea earned an M...2021-08-301h 13Learning Bayesian StatisticsSilly & Empowering Statistics, with Chelsea Parlett-PelleritiYou wanna know something funny?

She starts with an estimated time as her prior and then makes a video for TikTok. If you've ever made a joke like that and then realized your audience might need a little statistical education in order to appreciate how hilarious it is (or, perhaps, what the probability is that it's hilarious), then this episode is for you. The Chatistician (and the creator of the #statstiktok hashtag), Chelsea Parlett-Pelleriti, joined the show to talk about tactics for making statistics accessible, both to ourselves and to others! Humor and thoughtfulness were...2020-09-0856 minEverything Hertz107: Memes, TikTok, and science communication (with Chelsea Parlett-Pelleriti)We chat with Chelsea Parlett-Pelleriti (Chapman University, USA) about the role of memes and emerging social media in communicating science and statistics.
