As I write them, you will be able to find them all on this page. What’s your favourite board game? I read an article […]
Finding real data for real data stories
This post is first in a series of posts where I’m going to share some strategies for getting real data for real data stories, specifically to use for statistical investigations that require sample to population inference.
