Stats + Stories: Better Bayes Winners Revealed

Stephen T. Ziliak is Professor of Economics at Roosevelt University and Conjoint Professor of Business and Law at the University of Newcastle-Australia

WYSO is partnering with Stats and Stories, a podcast produced at Miami University.

Back in September, we asked you to explain Bayesian analysis to us as simply as you could in a journalistic headline and lead sentence. Forty of you submitted entries using everything from Netflix to the moon to newspapers to help you explain Bayes. On Stats and Stories, we talk with our Better Bayes winner! Rosemary Pennington is joined regular panelist John Bailer chair of Miami's Statistics department. 

Stats and Stories is a partnership between Miami University's Departments of Statistics and Media, Journalism and Film and the American Statistical Association. You can follow us on Twitter or iTunes. If you'd like to share your thoughts on our program, send your e-mail to statsandstories@miamioh.edu and be sure to listen for future editions of Stats and Stories where we discuss the statistics behind the stories and the stories behind the statistics.
