Statistical Maxims
  • Correlation is not causation (???)
  • No causation without manipulation. (Holland)
  • All models are wrong, some are useful. (Box)
  • Statistics is the science of uncertainty. (arguably Tukey)
  • Statistics is the science of learning from experience, especially experience that arrives a little bit at a time. (Efron)
