George Box & Bayes.
As of the 23rd May 2022 this website is archived and will receive no further updates.
understandinguncertainty.org was produced by the Winton programme for the public understanding of risk based in the Statistical Laboratory in the University of Cambridge. The aim was to help improve the way that uncertainty and risk are discussed in society, and show how probability and statistics can be both useful and entertaining.
Many of the animations were produced using Flash and will no longer work.
Kind of sad. I gave talk in Madison, WI April 4, 2013 on Bayes's Theorem History, & mentioned local history of George Box, in my PowerPoint, and There's No Theorem Like Bayes's Theorem, Valencia song as best ever, to me at least. Next day his obituary appeared; he'd died Thursday week before, at his home near Madison. Obituary mentioned There's No Theorem Like Bayes's Theorem.
