The difference between mathematical and statistical reasoning

Where do the Christmas babies go?

Continuing from the other day, here are some recent posts on miscellaneous topics from the blog:

• Books by Charles Rosen and Jeremy Denk on piano playing and the nature of music

• Here’s what’s happening with time-shifting of births.

• What is judgment and decision making (JDM)?

• What day of the year will have the fewest noninduced births? (Difference between mathematical and statistical reasoning)

• Buy your Tesla at closing time: For 15 years, these stocks have been mildly fluctuating during the day and shooting up overnight.

All these posts are, in some way or another, about timing.
