 About me
My name is John Grosberg. I graduated from Arizona State University
with a Master's Degree in Electronics Engineering more years ago than I
would like to say. I've been developing software for over 30 years.
Somehow I never took a course in Statistics, but always had a bit of a
fascination with the subject and had studied some introductory books on
my own. When I happened on Julian Simon's book Resampling: the New Statistics,
it was clear to me that here was a truly different approach to teaching
and understanding statistics. Simon presented statistics from the
viewpoint of simulation rather than calculation. No need to memorize
formulas or use tables. Formulas and tables are still good and useful;
it's just that after learning statistics via simulation they are much
more meaningful and it's easier to know when they apply and when they
don't. In addition, simulation can be used in cases where there are no
formulas. I found Simon's approach so fruitful that I wanted to help
make it available to others.
