"Statistical Rethinking" is the best book on statistics, Bayesian statistics, and scientific thinking in general. Amazing book.

Very insightful. Thank you for uploading this!

46:26 "They're cleaning up their house, though" Not from what I've seen. I've heard faculty defiantly say things like, "If I was able to find effects with 20 participants, why would I want more power?" and "Checking someone's pre-registration isn't part of my job as a reviewer."

I have a question. On minute 42, what does the remaining 45% mean? If it's not a true positive or a false positive, what is it?

Richard tends to take a 20 minute talk and cram it into a one hour talk.

While very easy to listen to, from this and other videos such as his Statistical Rethinking lectures, his statements can fall in precision, thus wanting to be checked to be confident of understanding what he said. Maybe having his book to read compensates for this, or possibly another guru’s coverage would be clearer for initial exposure.
