So, as you know, I have been trying to get statistical analysis of known conspiracy theories (including MK Ultra, The Tuskegee Experiment, and the NSA Spying Program) for the series called The Science They Don't Want You to Know.  This is to perform statistical analysis on supposed conspiracies, such as global climate change, vaccines, and GMO's.

In order to fully and thoroughly explain the science and stats, I need to get my hands on science behind pay walls.  And I need your help for that.  You can help by becoming Science of Life patron: go to http://www.patreon.com/thescienceoflife314 to find out how.

Multiple Regression: Basic Statistics Lecture Series Lecture #14

As promised from last time , I am going to cover multiple regression analysis this time.  As mentioned last time, correlation may not imply causation, causation does imply correlation, so correlation is a necessary but insufficient (but still necessary) first step in determining causation.  Since this is a basic statistic lecture series, there is an assumption that matrix algebra is not known to students who take this course, so this section will only be working with the solutions obtained through a program such as Excel , R , SPSS , or MatLab . This is the regression case where there is more than one independent variable, or multiple independent variables, for a single dependent variable.  For example, I mentioned last time that there is a causal correlation between the number of wins a team in the MLB has and the ratio of the runs that team score to the runs that team allowed.  The more runs they scored per run they allowed, the more wins they are likely to hav...

MKUltra: The Science They Don't Want You to Know

Hello internet, and welcome to The Science They Don't Want You to Know.  As I have mentioned in the first post of this series, I am doing research regarding the statistical viability of currently unconfirmed conspiracies (no leaked documents) by way of currently known conspiracies (documents have been leaked).  The primary purpose of this initial research is to gather particular information, specifically how many people were involved in the actual conspiracies and the length of time which these conspiracies took place.  If you have not read the first post, you should  read it here .  In today's world of the internet -- and with the modern obsession with distrust of the government -- there are  few who don't know at least of the existence of the CIA project called MK-Ultra.  For those of you who don't know, it was a project in the 50's and 60's where they attempted to develop direct mind control similar to what happened to Geordi la Forge in the...

Basic Statistics Lecture #3: Normal, Binomial, and Poisson Distributions

As I have mentioned last time , the uniform continuous distribution is not the only form of continuous distribution in statistics.  As promised, here are the three most common continuous distribution types.  As a side note, all sampling distributions are relative to the algebraic mean. Normal Distribution: I think most people are familiar with the concept of a normal distribution.  If you've ever seen a bell curve, you've seen the normal distribution.  If you've begun from the first lecture of this lecture series, you've also seen the normal distribution. This type of distribution is where the data points follow a continuous curve, is non-uniform, has a mean (algebraic average) equal to the median (the exact middle value), falls from highest probability at the mean to (for all practical purposes) zero as the x-values approach $\pm \infty$, and therefor has equal number of data points to the left and to the right of the mean, and has the domain...
