TheAmericanLife from WBEZ Chicago has this wonderful podcast discussing about the research done on civilian deaths that was published in The Lancet. Why is there double standard in the media to the application of particular statistical model when they are applied to different datasets. Anyways, Check the radio blog here, where the host discusses with the researchers on how the study was made to find the relevant data from Iraq and what methodology was used in coming up with the final numbers (650,000 civilian deaths).
