That’s for those who have been consulted and trained by him to judge. He’d love to be viewed as statistics answer to Professor Keating: shaking up the way statistics is taught to inspire and get its simple yet powerful concepts over to those who wish or need to use it. With a background in teaching statistics at universities, Paul has always seen himself as an enabler. “Everyone has one special thing,” and Paul literally and metaphorically put the PR in Prism. Other folks much just label him as just sad! Making the best use of pictures or graphs to tell the story, and then supporting their inter-ocular results with the most appropriate statistics and statistical tests – to aid understanding rather than to confuse or to detract the experimental goals – is always his primary goal.ĭata exploration and looking for patterns in data mining for those golden nuggets of information extracting and displaying them for folks to see, to understand and to learn from. Design oriented analysis naturally follows: extracting the information contained within a carefully crafted and suitably structured designed data set.

Paul is a keen advocate of experimental oriented design: designing experiments to suit the experiment and not the other way around: “I love it when a (experimental) plan comes together!”. Of course, should anything happen to Paul during one of his many total immersion projects, we at Prism will disavow any knowledge of him or any of his actions.

The more impossible the mission, the more exciting the challenge.

Whether it is interacting with clients to help them identify which visual or statistical tools will help them to make the most of their hard-earned data, or training scientists to enable them to use the tools for themselves, Paul will get a kick out of it.
