New edition of my probability book with Jessica Hwang is out! Read it FREE online at probabilitybook.net

@tejalpatwardhan of course I remember many, many things about you and @amspector100, from being debate champions to being passionate about statistics to being legendary TAs, ...

@stat110 do you remember 👀

congrats @amspector100 @bfspector @aidanmantine! these lads are hungry and their aura is unmatched. fun fact #1 is asher had the highest midterm score of any stat110 fall 2018 student (I believe). fun fact #2 is ben did not eat any vegetables until he turned 19 so he has some experience pursuing unconventional ideas

@theZachChen thanks, glad you enjoyed that!

@stat110 my professor's kinda funny

@AnnaLeshinskaya Thanks so much, that means a lot to me!

I'm very passionate about making technical concepts accessible to students in Cog Sci, a major that straddles diversity of interests & backgrounds. It's an incredible gift when someone makes difficult concepts exciting enough to tackle. Thanks Prof Blitzstein!

Today I gave a lecture on probability theory in my first ever course as a college professor. I am a cognitive scientist, not a statistician, and I teach research methods. It was only thanks to taking @stat110 with Joe Blitzstein that I ever understood probability!

@kareem_carr Thanks Kareem! :)

this probability 101 cheat sheet is incredibly well done *chef's kiss*

@pengding00 Congratulations Peng! Looking forward to having it on my shelf in addition to having the PDF

excited to see the physical copy of the book; nervous about the potential errors. Comments are welcome.

@rlmcelreath @ISBA_events Congratulations on this very well-deserved award for your wonderful book!

The folks at @ISBA_events tell me my book Statistical Rethinking has won the 2024 DeGroot Prize for its contributions to "statistical inference, decision theory and statistical applications". This is huge honor especially given the previous winners, who have influenced me so much

@matt_blackwell But all models are fiction. :) Measurements are discrete, but some concepts (temperatures, heights) are more intuitive to model as continuous, no? Btw I like this helpful & cute animation by @stat110, Anqi Zhao, and their team: youtube.com/watch?v=iA0xRU…
