WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 23, 2019 "THE QUEST TO CREATE A BETTER SPY-CATCHING ALGORITHM" "(Algorithms) are used so heavily, they don't just predict the future, they are the future." -Cathy O'Neil ^This quote from this NPR story made me punch the air in my little Subaru after dropping my kid off to school. What a great sentence. There are many great one-liners in this little five-minute review of algorithms. This NPR story by Dina Temple-Raston is a great primer for All The Ethical Issues Related To Algorithms, accessible to non- or novice-statisticians. It clocks in at just under five minutes, perfect as a discussion prompt or quick introduction tothe topic.
How to use in class: THEY TALK ABOUT REGRESSION WITHOUT EVER SAYING "REGRESSION": "Algorithms use past patterns of success to predict the future." So, regression, right? Fancy regression, but that one line can take this fancy talk of algorithms and make it more applicable to your students. Sometimes, I feel like I'm just waving my hands when I try to explain this very, very important piece of regression but this report describes the prediction side of regression succinctly.BIAS IN ALGORITHMS:
"The feedback loop that reinforces lucky people's luck." Historically, who is likely to get promoted at large, successful organizations? White dudes. If that is part of your algorithm, you'll keep promoting only white dudes. Which isn't to say that there aren't qualified white dudes, but you will miss out on great women and POC. "By learning from the past, algorithms are doomed to repeat the past" (Another great one-liner!)FALSE POSITIVES:
Who are spies? White men who work for the US government and speak Russian. There are a lot of those! If the federal government flagged everyone who met that description, they would flag many, manynon-spies.
Similarly, people who are engaging in corporate espionage tend to show up before everyone else or stay after everyone else. So they can be sneaky and unobserved. But a new parent may also work very early hours so they can leave early to accommodate their kid's school schedule, or an employee might stay late routinely because they have a regular, early PT appointment. An algorithm can't know this. ALGORITHMS STILL CAN'T BEAT HUMAN INSIGHTS (N = 2): The bigger narrative in this piece has to do with how various government agencies attempt to use algorithms to uncover likely spies within their ranks. In two very high profile spying cases (Aldrich Ames and Jerry Chun Shing Lee) the spies were uncovered not by an algorithm but by human analysts who noticed odd behaviors and acted onthose observations.

THURSDAY, OCTOBER 17, 2019 FREAKANOMICS RADIO'S "AMERICA'S MATH CURRICULUM DOESN'T ADD UP" "I believe that we owe it to our children to prepare them for a world they will encounter, a world driven by data. Basic data fluency is a requirement, not just for most good jobs, but for navigating life more generally." -Steven Levitt Preach it, Steve. This edition of the Freakonomics podcast featured guest host Steven Levitt. He dedicated his episode to providing evidence for an overhaul of America's K-12 math curriculum.He argues that our
kids need more information on data fluency. I'm not one to swoon over a podcast dedicated to math curriculums, but this one is about the history of how we teach math, the realities of the pressures our teachers face, and solutions. It is fascinating. You need to sit and listen to the whole thing, but here are somehighlights:
OUR MATH CURRICULUM WAS DESIGNED TO HELP AMERICA FIGHT THE SPACE RACE (YES, THE ONE BACK IN THE 1960S). FOR A WORLD WITHOUT CALCULATORS. AND NOT MUCH HAS CHANGED. QUICK IDEA FOR TEACHING REGRESSION/CORRELATION 14:20: Economist Dr. Sally Sadoff had students perform regression by going out into the world and collecting two data points the students were interested in. She describes how one under-performer measured the relationship between hair spray use and hair damage, which was of interest to a make-up obsessed student. PSYCHOMETRICS LESSON IN THE CREATION AND REVISING OF THE SATS 23:30: HOLY SMOKES. Information on why the SATs were created and how they were totally biased in favor of the affluence. I think this would be an interesting case study in RM, good intentions, and the road tohell.
Another old SAT question includes this gem: ARGUMENTS AND INFORMATION TO SHARE WITH YOUR STUDENTS AS THEY WONDER WHETHER OR NOT THEY WILL EVER USE STATS: Other interesting data about the current job environment: 7:40: 90% of the data ever created by humanity was created in the last two years. 7 of the 10 largest growing job titles are datarelated.
36:40: They discuss a survey that asked participants what math they wish they had learned in high school. Participants wished they had more lessons in statistical literacy. Specifically, they wanted they knew how to analyze data to gain insights (65% of participants) and how to make data visualizations and use data to make an argument(60% of participants.). Freakanomics also has a resource guide for math teachers: http://freakonomics.com/math/ Posted by Jessica Hartnettat 9:54:00 AM

SATURDAY, OCTOBER 5, 2019 PLANET MONEY'S THE MODAL AMERICAN While teaching measures of central tendency in Intro stats, I have shrugged and said: "Yeah, mean and average are the same thing, I don't know why there are two words. Statisticians say mean so we'll say mean in this class." I now have a better explanation than that non-explanation, as verbalized by this podcast: The average is thrown around colloquially and can refer to mode, while mean can always be defined with a formula. This is a fun podcast that describes mode vs. mean, but it also describes the research the rabbit hole we sometimes go down when a seemingly straightforward question becomes downright intractable. Here, the question is: What is the modal American? The Planet Money Team, with the help of FiveThirtyEight's Ben Castlemen, eventually had to go non-parametric and divide people into broad categories and figure out which category had the biggest N. Here is the description of how they divided up : And, like, they had SO MANY CELLS in their design. JUST SO MANY. For each response option, there were categorical responses: How to use in class: 1. Podcasts - I know some of you use these in class, here is one forstats.
2. Categorical vs. continuous variables and when and why you would use them. Here, a continuous variable, income, was divided into categorical brackets because they were looking at the data in a non-parametric manner. 3. Which THEN allows you to discuss non-parametric tests, like this one. They weren't exactly doing a chi-square, right? But they were thinking like a chi-square. They just wanted to figure out which of their buckets contained the most Americans...however, they used non-parametric logic. And that logic for non-parametric, where you have groups, and not the general linear model, working in the background, IS challenging for a novice to understand. Special thanks to Michael Proulx (@MicahelProulx) for recommendingthis episode.
