Statistiek

Jet Langerak, RuG Dichter, 2011-2012

Het heeft wat weg van toveren
abracadabra alpha en anova

Verbeeld ik me romantisch drama
betrouwbaarheid en vrijheidsgraden

Bovendien,
correlatie behoeftig ben ik vaak genoeg,
standaardfout.

Schat je,
in wolken van punten,
mijn bovengemiddeld voldoende

Ha: inzet heeft effect,
dat kan worden aangenomen.
