The Corrigan Brothers are leading exponents of how to capture the zeitgeist. They wrote about Barack Obama’s Irish roots and helped him win the 2008 American presidential election, they wrote about the 2011 Irish presidential election, Luis Suarez’s bites, Vincent Tan’s shirts, and the Irish government’s proposal to give free cheese to poor people.
Inspired by a blog post on the 100-year-old debate between Frequentists and Bayesianists, Ger Corrigan thought, “Statisticians should have a song.”
Next week The Corrigan Brothers release their latest single ‘Bayesian versus Frequentist’ and Dr Brían Merriman, the man behind the StatsJobs StatsBlog has spoken to Ger about story-telling, CERN, Susan Boyle’s cat, and a prize for the best music video.
“Let’s get statistics into the charts!”
Next week's blog gives the whole story and you will be able to download the song from our website.
