Six Statistical Senses

Abstract

This article proposes a set of categories, each one representing a particular distillation of important statistical ideas. Each category is labeled a “sense” because we think of these as essential in helping every statistical mind connect in constructive and insightful ways with statistical theory, methodologies, and computation, toward the ultimate goal of building statistical phronesis. The illustration of each sense with statistical principles and methods provides a sensical tour of the conceptual landscape of statistics, as a leading discipline in the data science ecosystem.

Keyword(s): bootstrap, data augmentation, exchangeability, likelihood, probabilistic sampling, propensity score, randomized replication, shrinkage estimation
