...ma soprattutto, perchè non c'è la fotto di Monjed con Agresti

...but most of all, why they didn't put Monjed and Agresti's picture?

MCMC...

Se non era per quella canaglia di fizban me lo prendevo tutto...

But for that folk of fizban, I would take it all...

Radiografia del Bustra TM


Objectiveness and hypocrisy...

Post serio sulla natura della Statistica.

Serious post on Statistical essence.

Being frequentist and saying X ~ f(theta) is like being Bayesian and saying that you have a prior on the space of density function. But with

P(f in a particular parametric family) = 1. 

This is in my opinion heavily subjective  (almost shure subjective, I would say). What do you think, my friends?

ABOUT MY ENGLISH

Hey Maestro,
about my English... I wish it was the case... but no, I'm not dating an English guy, unfortunately!

And if with good English you refer to "they are members of a lay sisterhood (one of several founded in the Netherlands in the 12th and 13th centuries); not taking religious vows the sisters followed an austere life in the "begijnhof""... well I did copy-paste from the source!!!

I'm so smart!!!

UPDATING FROM LEUVEN

Hi friends,
how're you?
Poor Marlies, I wouldn't like to be her, alone and encircled by the four of you!

Here life goes on, work as well. On sunday Poldo has been to Brugge, he enjoyed a lot, even if the weather was really bad (a lot windy and rainy). Indeed we saw just the begijnhof and a Modonna and child by Michelangelo, at the end of the day even my sweater (under the jacket) was wet from the rain!

Yesterday we have been to the Leuven's big begijnhof, which, I think, is even more beautifull than the one in Brugge.

For the rest... Poldo is always at home, alone during the day, but in the evening we do long walks in the country side. Last weekend I've been at a beertasting, tried 6 very particular belgian beers, a really flemish experience! (Toni, you'd have appreciated them a lot)


Have a nice week!


I miss you!




Checca


P.S.: Poldo is waiting for you! Look at him, how can you make him still wait???
