26 4193 Calling bullshit: Data reasoning in a digital world The internet and information ecosystem today is awash in bullshit: junk science, fake news, biased algorithms, predatory publishing and on and on. Jevin West, a professor at the University of Washington, co-created a course to help students with the life skill of calling BS when necessary. West will talk about one aspect of this course: statistical trickery. This session will touch on conditional probabilities, fallacies, biases and what to make of p-values. 6 2019-03-07 2019-03-07 11:30:00 2019-03-07 12:30:00 0 0 0 Jevin West, University of Washington 1   1 Calling bullshit: Data reasoning in a digital world
