The Bristol Observatory

              Incorporated in 1997 by John A. Pandiani, Ph.D., Sociologist 

                                             and Steven M. Banks, Ph.D., Mathematician

A few years ago, Dr. Steve Banks was invited to explain Probabilistic Population

Estimation for the cameras at a Vermont public access TV station.

To view an abbreviated (20 minute) version of the original talk,

just click on the TBO logo below.

  Though the video is not of highest quality,

we think the content is clear, and it is much more accessible

to a non-technical audience than the technical descriptions that have been

published in Statistics in Medicine and other academic journals.

We hope you enjoy and are informed by the show.
