Some version of this statistic is published a zillion times a year to argue that everyone should go to a 4-year college even though it doesn't come close to supporting that conclusion. #Stats101
1/6 First concern: Ecological Fallacy.
Comparing a state (Tamil Nadu, ~80M) to nations (Italy ~60M, Sweden ~10M) mixes scales.
MPI aggregates health, education, living standards - regional gaps in TN might mask rural poverty, unlike uniform national.

📊 Tamil Nadu Beats Europe in Poverty Reduction!
As per @NITIAayog MPI 2023, #TamilNadu Multi-Dimensional Poverty Index is 2.20%, lower than many developed countries! 🔥
🔻 Tamil Nadu (India): 2.20%
🔸 Italy: 2.39%
🔸 Sweden: 2.42%
🔸 Spain: 3.46%
🔸 Luxembourg: 4.19%
🔸 Brazil: 4.29%
🔸 Ireland: 15.06%

📚 Even Nobel Laureate Amartya Sen noted in the “Development as Freedom” book, how state like Tamil Nadu have social indicators that resemble high-income countries, largely due to proactive public policy and investment in welfare.
This is no accident; it's the result of inclusive Dravidian governance rooted in equality, dignity, and access.
✅ Universal PDS
✅ Women-led SHGs
✅ Noon meal scheme
✅ Public health & education access
✅ Focused implementation of SDG goals
💡 While the rest of the world debates inequality, Tamil Nadu quietly proves that strong social infrastructure works.
🏆 Tamil Nadu doesn’t just grow economically, it grows equally, leaving no one behind. From metropolitan to remote villages, people live with dignity, access, and awareness.
📌 A lesson for many nations: Development is not just about GDP — it's about giving every person the power to live freely and fairly.

People don't understand options trading. Polymarket does not give you the voting score, it gives you money spent on different candidates in relative to the probability of certain outcomes. For extremely high confidence in a 51:49 results, betting odds can be 99:1. #stats101
@Bobby_Bonsai You need to examine the data more closely. This is the respective percentage of the combined body fat of the candidates. Get the total between the two and then divide. That's why it equals 100%. #stats101
@knows_jill Look at the polling methodologies. Very few of these polls would receive a passing grade in a #stats101 class.
The samples are also taken from people who are motivated to answer polls and they may have political agendas of their own.
It’s all very suspect.
13/13 🎓 Always make sure whether your database is parametric or not. For troubleshooting, use STATA command: help "name of the test" Keep exploring and happy analyzing! #Stats101 #DataAnalysis #Stata
12/13 💡 Remember to choose the appropriate test based on your data and research question. Always check assumptions before running the tests, and interpret the results with caution. #Stats101 #DataAnalysis
📊🔍 Common statistical tests that every beginner should know, now with #Stata commands! Let's dive into the world of statistics and learn how to analyze data using key tests and Stata. #Stats101 #DataAnalysis
@picphysicians This appears to be an excellent example that correlation does not imply causation. #stats101
Ok #Statstwitter: Is there a name for the specific group that is coded all -1s in contrast/effect coding? I've been calling it the "sacrificial group" in my teaching, but now I need to put it in a paper 😬#statistics #rstats #quantpsych #quantmethods #stats101
@NFTsAreNice NFT market is for sure correlated with the Crypto market.
And now I just cant recall, if it was a Positive or a Negative correlation 🙂🤷♂️

@pebrown7 @davemacpherson7 🤔 Double the first three months of the year when it only operated for 67% of the time. #tehuia #stats101 compare 🍎 with 🍊
This explains the usual pro-gun results of self-selecting #VoodooPolls (pseudo-polls on social media with no statistical reliability) as opposed to those conducted by professional polling firms based on scientific methods of sampling, data collection & analysis #stats101 #cdnpoli

(Here, you tried to explain, "correlation coefficient is not valid for non-linear data." 🤦♀️ #stats101)

If COVID didn't kill these people (more than prior years), what did?

@Libertos_io @mercola As an unvaxxed person, you're 2X as likely to catch COVID, 10X as likely to be hospitalised for it, and 20X as likely to die from it. Congratulations on having enough dumb luck to escape those odds. Maybe also stop wearing seatbelts and pick up smoking. Should be fine. #stats101
Trusting the science, means all the way; @NormaBargary is professor of statistics @UL, it looks like @Education_Ire made some serious calculation errors on positivity in schools; #Stats101 if your conclusion makes no sense, check the data, check the calculations
I sincerely hope that this means also reviewing and retracting the numbers around antigen positivity presented last week. A 🧵:
@canadian_86 @TimLawr39267587 @JustinTrudeau You’re joking right?… let’s simplify this, say there’s 1000 ppl, 990 vaxxed and 10 unvax… now we find there’s 30cases , 20 from the vaxxed group and the full 10 unvaxxed… are you literally suggesting that being vaxxed makes you more likely (about 2-1) to get covid?.. #stats101
