Odds Ratios and Log(Odds Ratios), Clearly Explained!!!

Corrections: 8:53 I meant to say "the remaining 198.7 people without the mutated gene". 14:27 I correctly wrote "If the tests worked as expected, 5% should have p-values less than 0.05". That is correct. However, when recording the voiceover, I said "5% should have p-values less than 0.5", which is not correct. NOTE: In statistics, machine learning and computer programming, the default base for the log() function is 'e'. Thus, throughout this video I use the natural logarithm, or log base 'e', to do the calculations.

It is amazing how many math students who are advanced in math and algebra lack very basic foundation in statistics. Your materials are highly valuable. It’s like the Neanderthals discovering fire.

I've been excelling at math without understanding such fundamentals of statistics which I've been silently ashamed of. Your materials have significantly improved my understanding. Hats off to you sir. Thank you.

As a full-time machine learning engineer, I must say I love the animations and your clear concise explanations! Your videos really helped me understand the fundamentals to succeed in my field. Thank you

Graduate students across the globe thank you for these excellent videos. Top marks sir.

With videos like these, the odds of learning something are good, and it's easy to log a lot of time here!

Actually StatQuest is on my mind all night long

This is the best series of stats videos I have ever seen happening on youtube. You sir is a legend

First time continuously watching 10 videos in a series without any break. 10 x BAM.

This contained the first reference (that I've seen) to "small Bam". This is important StatQuest trivia!

OMG it's so... CLEARLY EXPLAINED!!!

Brilliant stuff Josh.... I keeep coming back to your video again and again... only to find that there is more and more information which I missed to grasp earlier .. Loving Statquesting.

Came for the content, stayed for the intro

This is such an underrated channel! Thanks again for saving my life lol

This is so helpful, I have been struggling about log(odd ratio) for a while, the meaning of log part confuses me forever, just never get why log is necessary for the calculation, now I finally understand, thank you so much

Another confusion clarified, thanks Josh.:trophy-yellow-smiling:

Man I love the intro song to your video, so calming... my exam is on 15th of April pray for me guys...

would be great to have a video differentiating odds ratios from relative risk from hazard ratios. in terms of interpretation and when one is used instead of the other

You are the man Josh. Wish I had a teacher like you when I was in school.

U r a god in explaining difficult things so easy
