Elizabeth Clark"Now, everything is becoming a data point, and everything is becoming searchable and analyzable. Instead of hypotheses seeking data, billions of data points seek hypotheses. As we once looked to the stars, we now look to databases to reveal new truths about the universe and our place within it.
Statistics is the only way to hold this new empiricism accountable; statistics is—in our information age—the new journalism. Which is, presently, a problem. If you are a statistician you are unlikely to engage in journalism in a serious way, and if you are a journalist you are unlikely to engage in statistics in a serious way.
The logic of the situation says collaborate—and here we are, with the third incarnation of STATS, as a collaboration between the American Statistical Association and the non partisan, non profit Sense About Science USA. We aim to scale the basics, to provide guidance and practical help, and to ascend to more complex problems in analysis and research integrity (if you want more of our thoughts on journalism and statistics and what we believe, click here). Editorial decisions are made by Sense About Science USA with input from the STATS advisory board." -
