In this week’s episode, Greg and Patrick explore the very cool yet often overlooked suite of non-parametric statistical tests. They talk about their strengths and weaknesses and how these might be profitably used in practice. Along the way they also discuss science fairs, spaghetti bridges, don’t take this the wrong way, jazz hamster, the Bernoulli Principle, everyone wins, glitter is not science, Speed Racer, George Russell being a baby, ppphhhhbbbbt, Miles Davis, and the conch shell.
