There are only 10 attitudes towards binary numbers: There are only 10 attitudes towards biostatistics:
There are only 10 attitudes towards binary numbers: either you understand them or not There are only 10 attitudes towards biostatistics: either you practice it or you ignore it
Standard statistics is just like standard PCI • Nobody was accomplished and quick the first time he took a guiding (or even diagnostic!) catheter in hand: now look at yourself and what you have done in interventional cardiology! • Keep on criss-crossing between published papers, your own data, your own analyses and chit-chat with colleagues or (even would-be) expert: it helps a lot on the long-term • Keep focused and work on what you like and what you need
Adanced statistics is just like advanced PCI • For any advanced technique, the best initial approach is partnering with an expert and learn case by case • Even if you are experienced with a given approach, you might need supervision for other similarly complex techniques • Advanced statistics is all too similar: learn to enjoy the road and pursue as much as possible open collaboration and constructive criticisms
