Interesting follow-up to the question "Has a degree in mathematics become worthless?" posted on Analyticbridge at http://www.analyticbridge.com/profiles/blogs/has-a-degree-in-mathematics-become-worthless-ieee : A related question: should general linear models (for statistical inference) still be taught? Shouldn't the curriculum focus on sophisticated computer-intensive simulations to conpute confidence intervals and for statistical analyses in general? The advantages are: - easy to code, no use of black box software anymore - data driven, model-free, non parametric approach, applies to any type of data You may leave the list at any time by sending the command SIGNOFF allstat to [log in to unmask], leaving the subject line blank.
