About the Author

Jack Davis is a recent PhD graduate from and lecturer at Simon Fraser University in Statistics in Vancouver, Canada.



His research spans statistics in sport, data mining, adult education and Bayesian computation. He also pretends to be an expert in writing and game design, which is why he's writing a textbook called "Writing for Statisticians" and why he programmed a video game called "Doc Logic" for Xbox 360.



He enjoys chess and chess variants, but he is so, so, very bad at them. He wants to try living on a houseboat sometime.
