As a programmer I'll admit to you right now - I don't know shit about statistics. I took the course during my degree - it was like a shaman was cursing me.
Never gonna catch me talking shit about stats. This post just validated everything I felt about it. |

This might be because for me it feels like 20% knowledge will work for 80% of situations. Maybe it's a fundamental disconnect; am I going to mess around R when Python works and is more general purpose (but to be fair, there's loads of brilliant Python stats code out there).
At least the standard deviation tip makes sense to me. Yay?
Edit: Man, tried to read up on some stuff and stats is hard. I'm definitely going to go easy on the performance guys in future. Any more tips for getting better at this kind of analysis?
