<br>
This is not the statistical rethinking course of Richard McElreath. It is another one and it is not for free.<br>
<br>
If some of you is interested in the Statistical Rethinking course of Richard McElreath, I (or any of us, he usually responds to emails) can ask him directly about whether and when his course will start. Or do you, Hassan, know already something about it?<br>
<br>
Have a good evening,<br>

Antonella<br>
