Should you trust my tips about statistics, data analysis, R, OpenOffice.org…?

I occasionally write about statistics, data analysis, software, and so on-–|sometimes even writing a tutorial here and there.

Should you trust what I have to say?

Sure! Why not?

Actually, I’ll leave that judgement to you. I haven’t, for example, had an economics or statistics class in years, so maybe my advice will be faulty. But, I do try to be comprehensive in my research before I write about anything. In making up your mind whether to trust my tips or not, remember that a lot of the times, I’m also writing because writing helps me to remember what I did.

I put it on this site for two main reasons. First, it’s a good backup in an era where hard-drive failures can mean a lot of information loss. Second, maybe someone would be interested in what I have to say and will be able to learn something from what I’ve written.

Your responsibility as the reader would be to tell me when things break. Only then would I be able to reflect on my tips and see if I would suggest anything different.
