Hi all, and welcome to a one-off episode on statistics terms! This episode is not part of our normal progression through the course but I did want to provide more discussion and explanation of terms you'd noted as difficult to understand.

Email me about any terms that are still difficult to understand and I'll do my best to expand on this episode!
