[Avodah] Book review: Alternative Medicine in Halachah

[Ben Rothke via Avodah]

Joel – I was basing it off examples by Rabbi Nahum Eliezer Rabinovitch,
Rosh Yeshiva of Birkat Moshe in Ma'ale Adumim in his book: Probability and
Statistical Inference in Ancient and Mediaeval Jewish Literature.

=====================
The following statement was made , "The rabbis of the Talmud certainly
didn't use a chi-squared test or regression and correlation analysis as we
know it, they did operate with sophisticated levels of statistical
analysis, the best of what was known to them in their time."
I'd appreciate specific examples
