#statstab #516 Is there a boxplot variant for Poisson distributed data?

Thoughts: People like their canned visualisations, but you need to think what question you are answering.

WIST Quotations Has Moved!May 26, 2025

A quotation from Nassim Nicholas Taleb

Cumulative errors depend largely on the big surprises, the big opportunities. Not only do economic, financial, and political predictors miss them, but they are quite ashamed to say anything outlandish to their clients — and yet events, it turns out, are almost always outlandish.

Nassim Nicholas Taleb (b. 1960) Lebanese-American essayist, statistician, risk analyst, aphorist
The Black Swan, Part 2, ch. 10 “The Scandal of Prediction” (2007)
