Subject: reference for a fortune quote
Hi, there is a quote in the fortunes package:
To paraphrase provocatively, `machine learning is statistics minus any
checking
of models and assumptions'.
-- Brian D. Ripley (about the difference between machine learning and
statistics)
useR! 2004, Vienna (May 2004)
Was this statement made in a presentation? If so, would it be possible
to get a reference for the presentation?
Thanks,
