About

Hi! I’m Josh Starmer and welcome to StatQuest! StatQuest started out as an attempt to explain statistics to my former co-workers – who were all genetics researchers at UNC-Chapel Hill. They did amazing experiments, but they didn’t always know what to do with the data they generated. That was my job. But I wanted them to understand that what I did wasn’t magic – it was actually quite simple. It only seemed hard because it was wrapped up in confusing terminology and typically communicated using equations. I found that if I stripped away the terminology and communicated the concepts using pictures, it became easy to understand.

Over time I made more and more StatQuests and now it’s my passion on YouTube.

What people are saying about StatQuest!!!

  1. hi,
    thanks for the great videos, I just discovered u! helpful and fun. BAM!!!

    I’m trying to look around here, and I feel a good index page of ALL posts (video + code for each) could be very helpful, or may be you have one and I just didn’t find it 🙂

    the “video index” page is missing a lot of stuff, that you can find only by scanning through the main home page. but the main home page is only organaize by date of posting, not by subject, and is very difficult to search.

    many videos that appear in main home page I can’t see in the video index page,
    and it is also difficult to fine the code sections of many of the videos

    your site is a Treasure Box! a good index page of ALL posts (video + code for each) would help us really make good use of it! (and if I just missed it and it exists… I sorry 🙂 please guide me how to…

    thanks a lot!

  5. Just let you know you’ve taken online learning to the next level. I understand all the methods better than I did. I think now I can explain them to my grandmother just like Albert Einstein’s quote “You do not really understand something unless you can explain it to your grandmother.”

    Many thanks Josh

  11. Hi,

    Thank you for your videos, ability to explain material so clearly is a gift.

    I would add two companion videos (or pdf? mathjax in html page?) for each topic with

    a) math with derivations at undergraduate level (Lebesgue measure would probably be too deep, on the other hand, you can explain things really well, couple of videos about Lebesgue with lots of examples could be an interesting challenges and I believe, there will be a lot of people how would be grateful?)
    b) workout of the topic in python numpy/scipy or R

    I noticed that you do have some R and some math in the videos, but this is a bit too casual. Those additions would make your website self contained, that would be useful for autodidacts. But I do understand, that this would be a huge work and keep you probably busy for next couple of years, so may be it is too much to ask.
    Just an idea to consider

    once more, thank you very much, your videos are really good

    • Thanks so much for all of the ideas! I plan on doing StatQuest for as long as I can make videos – so, who knows? Maybe one day I’ll get around to this. I like the idea of people being able to go as deep as they want to go to learn about statistics and machine learning.

  22. Hi Josh,

    I know you don’t just walk up to Chez Panisse and ask for their souffle recipe, but can you, by chance, give us a peek into how you make your videos? That is, what techniques and software do you use to produce the mathematically accurate but visually pleasing diagrams, illustrations and animations? I’m a high school biology teacher hoping to do the same some day.

    • I’ll pull back the curtain and tell you that I started using PowerPoint and iMovie. I just drew everything by hand, except for a few graphs, here and there, drawn in R (a programming language for statistics). Then PowerPoint started crashing and causing a lot of other problems, so I moved to Keynote, a free Apple program (like iMovie). Keynote is way better than PowerPoint and it has a nice, built in equation editor, which is useful, but I avoid it as much as I can. If I make writing equations hard, then that forces me to use pictures to tell the story instead – and that’s what StatQuest is all about – using pictures to explain what is going on. The equations should only be there for very specific things.
      Anyway, long story short: there’s nothing special about the tools I use.

    • Awesome! I think I looked at that conference, or something like it, but was worried that it was geared towards people who teach statistics in a classroom. I don’t “officially” teach statistics. I just make videos as a fun thing to do in my spare time. When I’m at work I do biostatistics and computational stuff as a research collaborator. – so I was worried that I wouldn’t fit in with that group. But maybe one day I will. More likely, I’ll come to Norway to go hiking. I’ve heard it is amazing and always wanted to go.

  29. Had some questions related to the Adaboost example. After the first stump using Patient Weight (176), when we want to identify the second stump using the new sample data set (and weights 1/8), should we consider all the records with patient weight as 167 as 1 to find the average weights to be used in the Patient Weight stump?
    If I use only 1 instance of 167, the average weights come out to be (140.5, 161.5, 169.5 & 188.5). The Gini for Chest Pain and Patient Weight > 169.5 comes out to be equal. Which variable to use for the stump? Is the approach correct or am I missing something?

    Would appreciate a reply and let me know if more details are needed.

    Thanks

  30. Hi Josh,

    Just a quick question on your excellent PCA video (https://youtu.be/FgakZw6K1QQ?t=637) you show that the eigenvector for PC1 can be described by 4 parts Gene 1 and 1 part Gene 2. Does the direction matter? That is, can the eigenvector also be described as -4 parts Gene 1 and -1 part Gene 2?

    Ultimately, I’m guessing it doesn’t matter, as the data will still be separated on the final PCA plot relative to each other (just flipped?)

    Thanks for any advice, keep up the amazing videos.

    • Direction does not matter. This means that the results can flip, just like you predict. I’ve seen this happen using different PCA functions applied to the same dataset.

  47. Thank you very much for making these videos. The concepts are very clearly explained.
    Couple of questions –
    1. Do you have any plans to provide python codes for some of these ML models ?
    2. I really would love to learn a few forecasting techniques; may be just 4-5 videos explaining the concepts ver briefly. Do you have any plans for these in the near future?

    Thank you again for explaining the concepts so clearly; I think your way of explaining the concepts with visuals is immensely helpful.

  50. I teach business analytics in a business school and lots of my students do not have strong prior knowledge in maths and stats. These students have gone through a basic stats course (not under my purview) but sad to say I am not confident that they have learnt much.

    So your text (An Introduction to Statistical Learning with Applications in R) seems ideal for my situation.
    I am considering using this as my main text in the course. Do you have any advice on how I can best make use of your materials.
    Questions:
    1) Why provide PDF of the book and at the same time sell your book on Amazon? I bet most of us will just download your PDF version—its free!?? Anyway, I will support your work by purchasing the ebook for the course, when I finally get the approval to use it.

    2) In your view, is teaching Statistical Methods (i.e., a calculus-based statistics course that contains the use of derivatives and integrals for learning statistics and linear regression analysis) useful to business students? Actually I find it very challenging. I would think my students are like your colleagues in Genetic lab. That’s why I think your book and materials come in handy.

    3) Another challenge I have is to link the application of Statistics to real-world problems. Many of my students can solve classroom exercises and problems, but they have difficulty identifying the kind of concepts/techniques to apply when comfronting with vaguely-structured real world problems/issues/situations that lack spoon-fed information. Picking your brains to learn if you have experience/materials/approaches to address this challenge.

    Thanks + BAM!!!

  52. Hi Josh,
    I watched your videos on the Quantiles and Percentiles and then Q-Q Plots. I wanted to generate a QQ plot on my own like you did. So I took a sample of 15 data points. But I don’t know how to calculate the quantiles of those 15 samples. So I would really appreciate if you could please share your values (dataset) of those 15 jeans used in the Q-Q plot video and explain me how you arrived at 0.6,1.1, and 1.9 values for the first 3 data points (jeans). It would be wonderful if you share the R code as well.

    A couple of days I ago posed my comment about your Q-Q plot video and asked if you could please share the data values of those 15 genes so I can understand how you calculated them based on the first 3 quantile values you mentioned in the video. I also requested you to please explain how you calculated them. However, for some reason my post has disappeared.

    I would like to ask for advice.
    I’d like to analyze the gene expression data between samples (RNASeq).
    I have a dataset (from a database) as a matrix where raw read counts was first quantile-normalized, then normalized by the RUVg function (batch correction). I have doubts whether the comparison of gene expression between samples after quantile-normalized is correct or should I have data in TPM?

    Do you think AI has a chance in music generation? I’ve tried couple of solutions like Junkbox and Magenta, but they seem too far being helpful on making music. I’m interested in this topic. As I know you are a music lower and can tell more about that?

    Reply

    • One of the first programs I wrote was to generate music. It was “interesting”. I’m sure AI is better now than before, but I think the thing that AI will really do is help get people started. It might create a cool beat that you could tweak a little bit and then layer with other stuff. This will make music creation faster and a little easier. And then there will be a backlash and we’ll all just listen to acoustic music! 🙂

  109. Hi, Josh. You likely don’t remember me, but, if you are Frank Starmer’s son, I think our lines crossed on some graph a long time ago (say, half a century) in Durham, NC. In the late 1960’s, my wife and I (with child-on-lap as we did in those days) were driving on the S side of Duke Park on Knox St., approaching N Roxboro when we heard intense screams from children. By the time we turned around to investigate, two youngsters were coming out of the grove onto the sidewalk. The younger was a boy (you?) covered by angry yellow jackets that refused to be removed by the flailing of the older girl (your sister?). Now being on that side of the road, my wife instinctively (foolishly?) exited and began wiping the insects off (I’ll give her a B). By the time I got out and circled the car, a teen-age boy showed up, shed his shirt and began beating the bees off with it. We were thinking of calling 911, but no cell phones existed in those days. The boy told us that he knew the kids, – neighbors of his, and directed us to either Acadia or Glendale nearby. He told us that the kids’ dad was a doctor who worked at Duke. I seem to remember him saying that the dad’s name was Frank Starmer, and he hustled them inside there. (We never heard how that scary incident turned out.) But, it did relate to yet another crossing of lines on the grid, one even older. There was a Frank Starmer who was in the science club (1959 senior class at Grimsley, Greensboro) and playing piano with the “Mad Lads” (don’t blame me, I didn’t make up that name). That was the same year I was taking physics/chemistry/math classes and playing alto sax with the dance/concert/marching bands, leading eventually to a career with Monsanto Company, RTP, NC (which is why we ended up in Durham for fifty years). Now retired and 82 years old (+/- 1 sigma), we are happily living on a tiny “farm” back near Greensboro (a shadow of our farmer selves), enjoying our horses, goats, chickens, fruit trees, berry vines, and veggie garden, but always cautiously watching out for stinging insects. BAM! Bet you weren’t expecting this. Please convey our greetings to your parents. By the way, “Mr. cello player”, my cousin, Susan Caviness, played that same instrument with the GHS orchestra in ’59 and later taught it, and my dad was the NC champion blue grass fiddler in 1956. Also, I taught electrical classes at the community college for 25 years. But, for now we are enjoying good health and a busy life in the sweet countryside, way out in the tails of the curve.

    Scientists could propose the project. You, for example, could make a How to Video, or a book…
    While Maecenas are responsible for providing funding, and they also have the right to submit a “challenge” to Scientists to solve.

    If you have 15 min, fill up the form 🙂

    I would be more than happy to connect you with some Maecenas

  122. Hey, Josh!

    I just can’t keep quiet – you are AMAZING! Your explanations of ML are incredible, and I’m finally starting to understand what’s going on!

    I’m an architect trying to dramatically change my profession (I build buildings, not systems) and I’m as far away from all this as one can be. But after watching a couple of your videos (start with SVM)), I realized that you are the person who knows HOW to explain.

    I bought your book and am just overwhelmed with happiness as everything is finally falling into place and becoming clearer!

    psst! I know I still have a lot of catching up to do, but your help is invaluable!

    Thank you so much!:) …BAM!

  123. Thank you for your work. I bought a book.
    I would love it if you had a chapter on differen measurements of error

    – Mean Absolute Error (MAE)
    – Mean Squared (MS / MSE)
    – Root Mean Squared (RMS / RMSE)
    – Coefficient of Determination (R-Squared)
    – Mean Absolute Percentage Error (MAPE)
    – Maximum Error (ME)
