For some years, statistics have suggested that New York City was getting safer, cleaner and more expensive. Now there are numbers that suggest the city may not be home to as many rats as New Yorkers might have thought — or liked to boast about to visitors.
Jonathan Auerbach, a 26-year-old statistician studying for a doctorate at Columbia University, recently won a competition sponsored by the 180-year-old Royal Statistical Society of London....
“last summer the city devoted more than $600,000 to the “war on rats.” This came with the statistic that there are twice as many rats as New Yorkers. But is that so? Our guest, Jonathan Lyle Auerbach says not so. He won the Young Statisticians Writing Competition of 2014 for using city open data to recount the rats.”...
