♫ So no one told you stats were gonna be this way,  [ clap x 4 ]
♫ Your r’s a joke,  your model’s broke, your regression’s D.O.A….

Our May event was an engaging overview of statistics for digital practitioners from Dr. Michael Levin of Otterbein University. In a packed room under the watchful eye of the Winking Lizard, Dr. Levin covered some of the basics we should all want to know, and gave some good resources for next steps. Plus for added difficulty, all done with Friends metaphors.
