推荐理由
Veritasium explains it better than me.
强烈推荐np422 · 原文
说明
这是2013年由Veritasium发布的一部讲解，主题归在Data science & statistics。它讲的是regression to the mean这一支里的具体问题，而不是把整个领域扫一遍。适合按兴趣直接看、不打算先补课的人。内容上可以概括成：A short Veritasium video explaining regression to the mean and how ignoring it leads to wrong conclusions about punishment versus reward, medical treatments and sports streaks. It uses the example of flight instructors who believed criticism works better than praise.这些读者给出的理由，核心是：HN commenters link it as the clearest short explanation of regression to the mean, especially for how it misleads people about feedback and statistics.讲法不绑某一条新闻，过几年仍然可以当材料看。从2014年到2025年，有3位不同的读者在3个不同月份把它推荐出来，其中明确叫别人去看的有1次。适合用一集把一个概念补上的人。抓住它用的那个图像或类比，比背公式重要。如果已经会了基本定义，就把注意力放在它怎么把regression to the mean变成能跟着复述的例子。
