Stat of the Week Winner: September 15-21 2012

Thanks for your nominations last week in our Stat of the Week competition. We’ve selected Alan Keegan’s nomination of car theft data which doesn’t take into consideration the number of vehicles when considering the likelihood of them being stolen.

(Thanks Brent for noticing the date typo in the competition, which has now been corrected. We’d like to think that Stats Chat is not about pointing out others’ typos or mistakes, but intelligently discussing the statistics behind the news and the issues surrounding them.)
