Glossary
Every technical term this platform uses, with what it means and — the part that is harder to find elsewhere — the mistake it prevents. On this subject the intuitive reading is often the wrong one, so each entry says what a reader would otherwise get wrong.
Evidence
- Confidence interval
A range that would contain the true value most of the time, given the data.
