Citizen Statistician

By

Citizen Statistician is a new blog from Rob Gould and others at the Department of Statistics, UCLA. The blog discusses statistics in the age of the “Data Deluge”, an age in which data are large, complex, everywhere visible, accessible, and where data analysis tools are available to everyone.

To date, they’ve been discussing how to get personal Fit Bit data and Yelp data.

We’ve also added the blog to our list of recommended sites down the sidebar of Stats Chat.
