In this lecture, we (nearly) finish our coverage of Input Modeling, where the focus of this lecture is on parameter estimation and assessing goodness of fit. We review input modeling in general and then briefly review fundamentals of hypothesis testing. We discuss type-I error, p-values, type-II error, effect sizes, and statistical power. We discuss the dangers of using p-values at very large sample sizes (where small p-values are not meaningful) and at very small sample sizes (where large p-values

In this 9 October 2025 X Space, philosopher Stefan Molyneux highlights the importance of clear definitions in philosophical dialogue, beginning with a quirky story about his daughter's date squares. As callers discuss sharing, ethical terms, and the impact of expert consensus, Molyneux emphasizes that ambiguity can lead to misunderstandings. The episode wraps up with a discussion on punishment and differing views on criminality, showcasing philosophy’s relevance in everyday life and moral

Contributor(s): Professor Hilary Hoynes | Join us for the Department of Social Policy’s Annual Lecture at which Hilary Hoynes will explore the concept of viewing the social safety net as a long-term investment in children.Traditionally, economic research has emphasised the incentive effects of tax credits and transfer programs, often neglecting their potential benefits, particularly for children. Hoynes will review a growing body of evidence showing that childhood access to programs like food

"This is always the hardest one for me:: To what extent should we let people suffer the consequences of their actions?"This lecture examines the delicate balance between allowing individuals, particularly children, to experience the consequences of their actions and the instinct to protect them from harm. Through personal anecdotes and the lens of Aristotle's philosophy, the discussion highlights the importance of finding equilibrium between accountability and shielding. It explores developmental

In this lecture, we continue discussing the choice of input models in stochastic simulation. Here, we pivot from talking about data collection to selection of the broad family of probabilistic distributions that may be a good fit for data. We start with an example where a histogram leads us to introduce additional input models into a flow chart. The rest of the lecture is about choosing models based on physical intuition and the shape of the sampled data (e.g., the shape of histograms). We close

Contributor(s): Dr Lyn Ossome, Professor Shirin M Rai, Dr Gloria Novović | We are beset by existential planetary threats - from environmental emergencies and public heath crises to grotesque inequalities and wars. Can global feminist solidarity and a feminist theory of social reproduction provide an emancipatory agenda that will foster the material conditions that make the reproduction of human and non-human life possible?

The spiritual fulfillment of the coming of Jesus, as opposed to a literal understanding of his expectation. This video is about how Elijah and Immanuel were supposed to come but we didn't literally get them coming physically from the sky or by name. But instead it came spiritually, so the second coming can, at least possibly, be fulfilled spiritually as well.

At the top of Friday Night Live, 10 October 2025, we explore Bitcoin's recent volatility, analyzing its high of $121,328 and subsequent drop to $116,000. I discuss how geopolitical tensions and trade policies, including Trump's remarks on China, impact market sentiment and create sell-offs. Using my stock trading background, I highlight the psychological dynamics at play and the interconnectedness of global economies. This discussion equips listeners with insights into navigating the unpredictable

"If we accept the principle of non-contradiction as the foundation of logic how do you resolve the apparent contradiction of an uncaused cause?"Stefan Molyneux examines the philosophical principle of non-contradiction and the idea of an uncaused cause through Aristotelian and Augustinian lenses. It questions whether the universe can exist without a starting point, introducing the "unmoved mover" concept. The discussion transitions to scientific theories like the Big Bang, while contrasting
