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.

Place- Manipal, India<br /> Date-15 Sep, 2014<br /> Name-Shabbeer<br /> Event- I study Msc. (biostatistics) and had recently borrowed a book from library - Bayesian Adaptive Methods for Clinical Trials by Scott Berry et al. While making a list of important papers and books to refer i found couple of papers and book by Prof. David Spiegelhalter. So, i downloaded and started reading them in evening over a cup of nice South Indian coffee. Then my friend pings me in skype and posts a link of an interesting video of a documentary on probability produced by BBC. So, out of curiosity i started watching the video and ahh-la presto comes David Spiegelhalter as the presenter !!! Now that was a coincidence...
