@nntaleb Donaldo, tell us something we don’t know. BTW,Trump wass loved by his butlers while Hillary was hated by bodyguards. https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/709089928324489216   Permalink 12:03 PM – 13 Mar 2016

@nntaleb The metadistribution of the p-value and the #replicationcrisis https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/50282823/p-val.pdf   Permalink 8:22 AM – 13 Mar 2016

@nntaleb To summarize from above, P-values are highly stochastic and the metadistribution is not factored in. Compiling notes. #replicationcrisis Permalink 7:58 AM – 13 Mar 2016

@ModeledBehavior Scary final act twist would be Trump successfully runs to the middle & before it’s too late Democrats realize he’s burning down both parties Permalink 7:05 AM – 13 Mar 2016

@nntaleb QUIZ DU JOUR. What is the probabilisty distribution of a P-Value? (may be offline for 16 hours please put answer in tweet) Permalink 3:09 PM – 12 Mar 2016

@nntaleb 1) You remove segment of samples and redo P-Values to ensure stability:ignore P, it is its fragility (convexity) @learnfromerror @alxpr1c3 Permalink 3:02 PM – 12 Mar 2016

@nntaleb The only solid use I found for P-Values is a test of robustness across jacknife (here 1-p) @learnfromerror @alxpr1c3 pic.twitter.com/1k3Yko2wyl Permalink 2:54 PM – 12 Mar 2016

@nntaleb Kahneman is exceptionally scientific as work matches the #LindyEffect . I don’t see him as a psychologist but a decision-theorist. @RiberJan Permalink 12:32 PM – 12 Mar 2016
