"Quantitude" is a podcast centered on the realm of quantitative methods, statistics, and data analysis. The show, hosted by Patrick Curran and Greg Hancock, offers a unique blend of serious statistical discussions infused with humor and lightheartedness. The co-hosts often tackle complex statistical topics and methodologies, making them accessible through an engaging and often whimsical narrative style.
Across its episodes, the podcast delves into a wide array of quantitative topics, including but not limited to multiple choice item construction, inter-rater reliability, growth modeling, professor career evaluations, and probability distributions. The show carries a strong educational slant, exploring various statistical models and theories like confirmatory composite analysis, item response theory, structural equation modeling, multilevel models, and classification and regression trees. It also covers more niche statistical themes such as survival analysis, longitudinal measurement invariance, and Simpson's Paradox.
Recurring throughout the episodes are discussions on the practical applications of statistical methods in academic and research settings. The podcast frequently intersects these discussions with personal anecdotes, pop culture references, and humorous asides, touching upon everything from car mechanics, laser cannons, and zombies to schoolyard games and beloved television characters.
The episodes also feature interviews with guest experts from the field of quantitative methods, bringing outside perspectives and expertise to enrich the dialogue. Themes of academic life, the process of scholarly research, and the journey of becoming and being a professor add a reflective and insightful dimension to the content, often wrapped in witty banter.
Listeners can expect a blend of in-depth quantitative analysis, practical advice, and a touch of satire, all geared towards making the often daunting field of statistics a bit more approachable and entertaining.
