Dear Professor Random, You gotta understand, It’s our training in statistics That gets things out of hand Our teachers talk in numbers Our books are symbols too Golly Moses, what are we to do
Gee, Dr. Random, we're very upset My mom lost her nerve We never had a normal curve
Normal curve, normal curve Normal curve, normal curve We never had a normal curve
Our auto correlation Should tell us what to do But our spatial distribution can pixelate our view
|
We’re standard deviations From being understood It’s no wonder We can’t compute too good
And so in summation From i up to n A double integration means To do it again We may be regressing If our matrix is used What if our data turns out skewed
We’ll be skewed, we’ll be skewed Our research will be skewed If our data turns out to be skewed
So please Dr. Random, your root needs to square |
