Communicating Uncertainty: How to better understand an estimate. They may be based on huge datasets calculated with the most robust methodologies, but nearly all important statistics are actually an estimate - a statistical judgement that is subject to some degree of uncertainty. So how should statisticians best communicate that uncertainty while still maintaining trust in the statistics themselves? That is the question at the heart of the first episode in a brand new season of Statistically Speaking, the official podcast of the Office for National Statistics (ONS). Joining podcast host Miles Fletcher to discuss is Sir Robert Chote, Chair of the UK Statistics Authority; Dr Craig McLaren, Head of National Accounts at the ONS; and Professor Mairi Spowage, director of the renowned Fraser of Allander Institute at the University of Strathclyde. |
