No more identity crisis

Non ho più crisi di identità: sono un processo stocastico

I have no more identity doubts because i am a stochastic process, look:

if you get boring

Tony, mi è venuto in mente che se un giorno non hai niente da fare, potresti provare ad esportare il modello di società renano in Carolina..

Tony, i think that if a day you have nothing to do you can try to export the renano? society model in Carolina..

Chi l'avrebbe mai detto...

...che mi sarebbe servita la famosa proprietà di "Cara, te odori!"?

Carathéodory

Who would have thought that I would use the property "you dear, smells!"

You knooow?

Sono in ufficio con 3 dottorandi indiani... parlano come Datta!
Ricordate quella "s" sibilante in "shrinkage"...uguale!!!

I'm in a office with 3 Indian PhD students...they all speak like Datta!
Do you remember that "s" like in "shrinkage"...totally the same!!!!
Hi Tony! i am very happy to see you have a villa, congratulations!! Pay attention to bears..i reccomend!

This is for my friend Riccardo: translate

1. quo usque tandem abutere, Datta, patientia nostra? quam diu etiam furor iste tuus nos eludet? quem ad finem sese effrenata iactabit audacia? nihilne te diurnum praesidium Diapartimentum Statisticae, nihil urbis Patavinis vigiliae, nihil timor populi, nihil concursus bonorum omnium, nihil hic munitissimus habendi Uggè locus, nihil horum ora voltusque moverunt? patere tua Bayesiana consilia non sentis, constrictam iam horum omnium scientia teneri coniurationem tuam non vides? you knooow?

I'm alive!

Tranquilli sono vivo!
C'è solo voluto un po' per trovare una casa...questa:

..è una figata in mezzo al bosco! Chi viene a trovarci dovrà sorbirsi una grigliata americana all'ombra di un pino e casse di Old Carolina Indian Pale Ale... sempre che non voglia fare un tuffo in piscina! L'affitto va veramente ridere!
Di statistico ancora niente, ma una cosa è certa: il reverendo Bayes qui è di casa! Vi saluta inoltre, Jim Berger che è nella porta di fronte alla mia!
Rock n roll

Don' worry I'm alive!
There's just taken a while 'to find a house ... the one above! ... is pretty cool house in the forest! Who will come to visit us will have to put up a barbecue (without maiale!) under the shade of a pine tree and huge of Old Carolina Indian Pale Ale ... unless they want to take a dip in the pool! The rent is really laughing!Statistically speaking anything yet, but one thing is certain: the Reverend Bayes is here to stay! Regards from Jim Berger, who is in front of my door!
You knooooow?

Kierkegaard

Das ist das Höchste zwischen Mensch und Mensch. Der Schüler ist der Anlaß, daß der Lehrer sich selbst versteht, der Lehrer ist der Anlaß, daß der Schüler sich selbst versteht.

Kierkegaard

i invite all of you to read more about Soren Kirkegaard, for me he is one of the most important contributer to the human way of thinking. I translate:

This is the highest feeling among human beings. The student is the cause that enables the teacher to uderstand himself, the teacher is the cause that enables the student to understand himself.

SUPER VIC

Hi guys!

Mission accomplished... we calculated the sample mean (no asymptotic and no permutation), for 10 times, of 100 realizations from a normal distribution with mean $\mu=i$, for $i=1,\dots,10$. All this work have been done with Vic3, who is the super belgian big brother of Calculus!!!

Therefore we did this almost impossible mission after 4 normal + 2 heavy beers.


And Checca is learning Linux: I know cp, less, rm, ls, mk dir, and I use a lot the tab.

Ciao bei

SUPER PERMUTATIONS!

n=16, test for the comparison between two nested models. Look at the plot of two (only one is the true one!) null distributions of the same test statistic:
Would you trust more in the asymptotic distribution of the test statistic (in red) or in the other one (in black). The answer to this question is quite important, since the observed test statistic takes a particular value (green vertical line) which makes the asymptotic and the exact p-values to be very different.

Think about it...

Permutation power.
