Glad to hearing back from you. I've added a link to Sconsig on AnalyticBridge, see the left hand side. Please could you add a link to datashaping.com on Sconsig.com (in the footer, preferably)?

Thank you,

5. TED | Talks | Peter Donnelly: How juries are fooled by statistics (video) (www.ted.com)
21 minute video. Oxford mathematician Peter Donnelly explores the common mistakes we make in interpreting statistics, and the devastating impact these errors can have on the outcome of criminal trials. Statistical uncertainty and randomness, he says, confound many of our assumptions about the world. He shares the case of a British woman wrongly convicted of murdering her two infants -- a verdict reached, in part, by the misuse of statistics.
