Math 216: Statistics for Engineering

The researcher interviewed here is familiar to me--he's done some interesting things with cryptography to secure information about victims of human rights abuses. Here, he talks about the statistical challenges in estimating death tolls. Very interesting stuff.

I know the interviewee here from my cryptography class. He uses advanced encryption to keep secure information on witnesses of human rights abuses. In this interview, he talks about the challenge of estimating how many people are killed in various conflicts. He keeps the stats pretty light in this interview, but I think you can still get an idea of how statistics might help with these kinds of estimations.
