Confounding and Cornfield: Back to the
Future. By Milo Schield
(2018) for ICOTS 10. "Cornfield's minimum effect size is one of the
greatest contributions of statistics to human knowledge alongside the
Central limit theorem and Fisher's use of random assignment to statistically
control for pre-existing confounders." "To change the future, we need
to go back to when Jerome Cornfield argued that smoking caused cancer."
"Our unwillingness to talk about observational causation, confounding and
strength of evidence is arguably the primary reason our students' see little
value in the introductory statistics normally taught in Stat 101." "We
need to teach multivariate statistics, confounding and the Cornfield
conditions so students will appreciate statistics."

based on different data using different definitions and different models."

Issue: Statistical Literacy

The
future of Statistical Literacy is the future of statistics Editorial
by guest editors Jim Ridgway and James Nicholson.
"On an optimistic note, Milo Schield argues that the 2016 revision of
the GAISE Guidelines marks a major step forward in promoting statistical
literacy via its increased emphasis on evidence appropriate for decision
making – such as paying attention to study design and multivariate data
and associated concepts such as confounding."
"Conclusion: Statistical literacy is a pre-requisite for an
informed democracy. Increasing statistical literacy is a key element in
warding off the existential crisis we face. Revising current curricula
in school and at university to ensure that there is an adequate focus on
using evidence to make decisions in realistic contexts is an essential
starting point. At least as important is for statistics educators to
take a broader view of their task, and to engage directly with the
illiteracies encountered in broadcast and social media – for example by
direct critique, or by promoting statistical literacy directly. There is
a need for disparate elements of the statistics community to come
together; cultivating statistical literacy across the whole of society
should be a goal that brings like-minded people together with a common
cause."

Panorama of Statistics: Perspectives, puzzles and paradoxes in statistics
by Eric Sowey & Peter Petocz.
"The authors guide readers, who already
know something of statistics, to see the richness of the discipline and
to let them discover its fascinations. Among the chapters you can find
aspects of statistics (e.g. statistical literacy, intellectual history,
and epistemology) that are outside the conventional instructional
mainstream and beyond the scope of most textbooks. This is a book which
can engage curious students, teachers, and consumers of statistics, as
well as practitioners of statistics and of statistics-using
disciplines."
Table of Contents: Part I. Introduction.
1) Why is statistics such a fascinating subject? 2) How statistics
differs from Mathematics 3) Statistical literacy - essential in the 21st
century! 4) Statistical inquiry on the web. Part II: Statistical
description 5) Trustworthy statistics are accurate, meaningful and
relevant 6) Let hear it for the standard deviation! 7) Index numbers -
time travel for averages 8) The beguiling ways of bad statistics I 9)
The beguiling ways of bad statistics II Part III: Preliminaries to
inference 10) Puzzles and paradoxes in probability 11) Some
paradoxes of randomness 12) Hidden risks for gamblers 13) Models in
statistics 14) The normal distribution: history, computation and
curiosities Part IV Statistical inference 15) The pillars of
applied statistics I - estimation 16) The pillars of applied statistics
II - hypothesis testing 17) 'Data snooping' and the significance level
in multiple testing 18) Francis Galton and the birth of regression 19)
Experimental design - piercing the veil of random variation 20) In
praise of Bayes Part V: Some statistical byways 21) Quality in
statistics 22) History of ideas: statistical personalities and the
personalities of statisticians 23) Statistical eponymy 24) Statistical
'laws' 25) Statistical artifacts Part VI: Answers to chapter questions

4. "Willful Ignorance" by Herb Weisberg (picture above) is now
available!! [Editor: This book is my #1 pick for 2014.]
Weisberg's grasp of statistical history
is comprehensive without being over-whelming. But this is more than
just a history book on statistics. Weisberg has a point to make --
that statisticians have mis-measured uncertainty! And this mis-measurement
involves "willful ignorance"!!! These are fighting words for
statisticians who consider the proper measurement of uncertainty to be their
primary task. For more details on Herbert Weisberg, visit
his page. If you buy one

DEFINITIONS
"Statistical literacy is the ability to
read and interpret summary statistics in the everyday media: in graphs,
tables, statements, surveys and studies. Statistical literacy is
needed by data consumers – students in non-quantitative majors: majors with
no quantitative requirement such as political science, history, English,
primary education, communications, music, art and philosophy. About 40% of
all US college students graduating in 2003 had non-quantitative majors."
By Milo Schield in "Assessing Statistical Literacy: Take CARE" Ch 11 in
Assessment Methods in Statistical Education, pp. 133-152.
Wiley 2010 Schield excerpts
Short introduction to Statistical Literacy.
For more on confounding, see Standardizing.
UK Parliament Briefing paper on Statistical Literacy
Statistical literacy: "the ability to
read and interpret statistics, and think critically about arguments that use
statistics as evidence"
United Nations
Development Dictionary (move slider to "s") [link broken/missing in
2012]
Statistical literacy: "understanding
the basic language of statistics (e.g., knowing what statistical terms and
symbols mean and being able to read statistical graphs), and understanding
some fundamental ideas of statistics."

THREE MOST IMPORTANT
STATISTICAL LITERACY ARTICLES SINCE 2002
If you read just one article,
read
Appendix B of the 2016 update to the ASA GAISE recommendations.
This paper argues that introductory statistics courses should
include multivariate thinking (and confounding). See also
footnote 40 in ASA (2014).
Curriculum Guidelines for Undergraduate Programs in Statistical
Science. "Issues of confounding and causal inference are central
to the discipline of statistics."
The second-most important paper introduces confounding as 'one
of the two major themes in statistical analysis'. See
Challenging the state of the art in post-introductory statistics
by Tintle, Chance, Cobb, Rossman, Roy, Swanson and VanderStoep
(2013).
The third by the same authors is
Introduction to Statistical Investigations (2016) where
confounding is introduced in chapter 4 on causation.
"By introducing confounding, these
three papers are arguably the most important
non-Schield papers in statistical education since 2002 when Howard Wainer
publicized 'The BK-Plot: Making Simpsons' Paradox Clear to the
Masses'. Together they mark a new
beginning of statistics education for the 21st century." Milo Schield,
