About
We, the hosts, are motivated by a shared interest in bridging historical mathematical methods with modern data science practices.
We express a desire to create content that delves into the origins and foundational concepts of statistics and machine learning, areas we feel are underrepresented on platforms like YouTube and various other existing podcasts.
Why Historical Papers?
We highlight the importance of understanding historical papers to grasp the evolution of statistical concepts and their relevance to contemporary practices. We all agree that historical context is crucial for understanding where the field has been and where it is headed, emphasizing that foundational works like Fisher's paper provide essential insights into modern data science methodologies.
