I think we need to talk Christian. If there’s away where I can talk to you privately, I would love to talk to you.
no thank you
wish u included some refs that u used in this vid
what refs did you want in particular
@@very-normal Just wanted to know what source material you used for this video, great video nonetheless :D
use statistics for predicting the winner
🧠
@@very-normal nah but seriously though, at least make a shorts with how other prizes are distributed and with some data crunching make statistical predictions especially since you havent done much of those
@@very-normal Also in my textbook, in some questions they use root (n) for t-test and in some places its root (n-1). Standard of error is the root of (variance per statistical individual). There wasnt an explanation as to why root of n-1 is used in some places. lmk asap pls, I have a test on 5th in inferential statistics.
In general, the one using root(n-1) is more correct than root(n) because it makes the estimator unbiased. I put root(n) here because that’s what you get with the MLE for estimating the variance of normally distributed data.
@@very-normal how does a root of (n-1) make a significant difference? A hypothesis test especially in your sampling sizes is gonna be large. diff between root of n and n-1 is gonna be in the 0.000x probably. Also how does it make it unbiased?! from an undergrad of Aswath Damodaran, my understanding was that bias is an error from human judgement. How can it be reduced if not eliminated by subtracting 1? Im highlighting my ignorance rn, but the days of mean median and mode were far more comprehensible.... I am stuck with the simplest of t-tests 😭😭
A topic thats fascinated me for a long time is the statistics of persuasion. How strong does the evidence need to be to persuade people one way or another? Of course, rhetoric is the main way we persuade other people, but it's a nice thought experiment and a very bayesian challenge
Statistics is the workhorse for the sciences.
Thinking Judeah Pearl or Donald Rubin?
Remember, data is only random from a frequentist perspective. Data is fixed according to Bayesian statistics!
Hey, this is an amazing video! Cheers to these great statisticians. Rao taught one of lecturers in undergrad. He could never stop speaking so highly of him!
Loved the content! Beautifully explained !!
BRO, thank you for this channel and your work! Truly truly insightful!
C.R rao prolly my fav statistician
it is sad that fields medal gives only 15k
Isnt it disturbing that the fields medal only gives the winner 15000$? I mean math is the base of our infrastructure

Just a quick note, on 4:27 you said that all random variables have a pdf, but that is not always true. The easiest example is a cdf which is not differentiable, then the pdf can not exist. Much more complicated examples can be constructed, but the previous is a quick one.
Thanks for the correction. I should have added a qualifier that it’s random variables that we usually deal with in basic statistical models, but you’re right
Isnt Economics a fake one from a totally different investment lobby? They just brought enough marketing rights and missleading interpretations on copy right laws close enough to be called "Nobel prize" as well afaik
I agree with your prediction about Vladimir Vapnik. He would be a worthy recipient. It would also recognise the long term efforts of the Russian probability school.
You really should research your stories. Nobel intentionally omitted mathematics because a mathematics scoundrel stole his wife.
Lol the irony of this statement
nobel never had a wife as he never got married
5 categories, economics is named after the two novel prize
What’s the background music
I looked up “calm music” on Storyblocks and took a track that I liked
You get hierarchical modeling and the variance of estimates (almost) for free with Bayesian analysis. Take the Bayes pill and make a video about it.
ya boi is fully pilled up, a hierarchical model video would be a good one
what is the difference between biostatistics and biostatics?
biostatistics is applying statistics to biological contexts, biostatics is when I can’t pronounce the former correctly
There should be absolutely no award for economics whatsoever, what a fudged up "field"
Well thank god no one told them CS exists or else we'd have an arbitrary prize for the easiest form of applied math.
Can we get a video on the Jackknife method or on MCMC?
Yeah! I’ve been cooking up an MCMC type of video for some time now. Jackknife would be cool too, tho it’s been overshadowed by the bootstrap I feel. Could be a part of a bigger video!
@@very-normal MCMC is used in lattice QCD and quantum gravity. I'd be interested to see in what other fields they're used in.
Professor Vapnik absolutely deserves this prize 😁I had him in mind from the beginning of the video!
Great video. But, there is no drama. Well… let me correct that. There is, but only among those who don’t actually use statistics. People who actually use statistics know that the different interpretations apply to different circumstances.
This is the answer
Judea Pearl for the 2025 prize?
solid guess! My causal inference guess was Donald Rubin, but I stuck with my ML guess
That was super interesting, thank you!
The Economics prize was added later. It is not an official one, which is why it says in honor of Alfred Noble. Which is why Math maybe added.
Isn't Cox's work kind of an extension of GLMs with a particularly useful GLM?
The bootstrap and Crémer-Rao lower Bound are most important invention in stats in last century - they deserve the recognitions without doubt. My predition: Nobel Prixe of stats for 2025 is James-Stein Estimator resp. their proofs - that was huge surprise for many statisticians and showed that MLE is not the sufficient estimator and contradict to Crémer-Rao lower bound.
Thank you for the videos. The story I heard as a student was Nobel's wife was having an affair with a Mathematician, which is why there is no Nobel Math Prize.
i think Ross Ihaka and Robert Gentleman, the designers of R, deserve this prize as well as many students and statisticians use R.
That’s a good one, I didn’t even think about the programming route when I was coming up with my own prediction
@@very-normal i just thought that these people deserve recognition. thats the least we can do using the free software we've been using. 🙂 nice videos by the way. i love ur content. always looking forward to your uploads.
great video! I didn't know about the price & i'm doing a master in stats haha
Well, I knew Florence Nightingale, but I was pretty sure she was not the one to win this 😄
lol have you read The Lady Tasting Tea by David Salsburg by chance
Man do I wish you made these videos when I was doing my bachelors in statistics, would've removed a lot of confusion. Still though I really enjoy watching your channel and I hope your goal of making statistics fun for everyone succeeds!
To paraphrase Chappelle Roan, C. R. Rao is your favorite statistician's favorite statistician
Very nicely presented, I learned a lot and really enjoyed the reasonable pace at which you walked the viewer through the contributions as well as their significance.
Thank you Christian. Love all your videos. Thank you for making them, I'm learning a lot
Bold of you to assume I know the name of any statistician.
Bernoulli has a distribution if i remember correctly 🤔
I would be cauchyous with that one, too.
Well, Nobel died in 1896 and the prize started in 1901, before Von Neumann and Turing were even born, so I'm pretty confident nobody told Nobel that Computer Science existed lol
lol that’s fair I’ll give him a pass for that
I heard his wife cheated on him with a mathematician, but google quickly told me that it wasn't true.
@@kodierergHe was never married so that probably didn't happen 😅
Well Charles Babbage and Ada Lovelace already did some amazing work by that time so he could've heard about it
Exponential distribution entered the room
poor guy won’t remember he did
I'll definitely be interested to see who this year's prize goes to. In my opinion Andrew Gelman is definitely in the running. But given how new this prize is, there are others who ought to be considered first.
0:53 Yup, that’s me. You may wonder how I ended up in this situation…
There is no Nobel Prize in Economics. Look into it to be surprised
Fiiine, it’s the Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic Sciences in memory of Alfred Nobel lol
I really intend no offense, Very Normal, but you give off the distinct impression of someone who has studied very little about the basics of frequentist and Bayesian statistics, as you make a number of false or inaccurate statements (particularly about frequentism). Let me list just a few: - Priors: frequentist analyses absolutely can (and do) incorporate prior knowledge and possible values of a parameter of interest. These are just not called "priors"; they are called "auxiliary data sets" and are free from subjective choices of which variables to use (which Bayesian analyses suffer from). - Frequentist analyses also produce a range of likely values of a parameter of interest. See "confidence intervals" - The phrase "Bayesian statistics" DOES NOT come from Bayes theorem. Bayes theorem is a general statement that is valid for any system of probability that satisfies the Kolmogorov axioms. "Bayesian statistics" derives its name from Bayes who pioneered the interpretation of probability to mean degree of belief. - The "D" in "PDF" stands for "density", not "distribution" Frequentist and Bayesian analyses really do much of the same things; the difference, fundamentally, is in the interpretation of the word "probability" and whether or not a result should depend on subjective choices just as much as data, or on data alone.
You just listed a few, what else did was wrong or inaccurate in my video?
The sound bite at 8:16 is what made me subscribe 😂
wooooow
Oh, Very Normal channel, you're surelly in the upper quartile of a channels quality distribution
i wish I were able to understand everything and to apply this kind of thing.. :S. I know statistics in a more broad way. I feel dumb
Give it some time! Statistics is far from easy or intuitive. I didn’t understand a lot of it at first, even into my graduate studies. You’ll get it with time
