QuantitudeAuthor: Greg Hancock & Patrick Curran
A podcast dedicated to all things quantitative, ranging from the relevant to the highly irrelevant. Co-hosts Patrick Curran and Greg Hancock talk about serious statistical topics, but without taking themselves too seriously. Think: CarTalk hi-jacked by the two grumpy old guys from the Muppets, grousing about quantitative methods, statistics, and data analysis, all presented to you with the production value of a 6th grade school project. But in a good way. Language: en-us Genres: Natural Sciences, Science, Social Sciences Contact email: Get it Feed URL: Get it iTunes ID: Get it Trailer: |
