Great post, as always!

I'd just add that multicollinearity is *almost* never an issue... unless your predictors are so heavily correlated that it becomes statistically spaghetti (i.e., that it becomes algebraically impossible to disentangle their unique effects, leading to unstable estimates).

Poisson goes brrr.

But good old OLS is still my favourite.
For instance, yesterday I read a paper with a table describing participants' sickness absence days with a mean of 71 and SD = 88. Generating a random (gaussian) sample using these values produces ~20% participants with less than zero sick days.

This is when I realized: we’ve been here before! The garden of forking paths in well-trodden by us psychologists. And we already know that analytic flexibility can allow us to present basically any finding we want as significant.

So I wondered: how much flexibility can we get with silicon samples?

LLMs are incredibly powerful tools.

The only limitation is that, in order to unlock their full potential, it is necessary to verify the answer.

In other words, you have to be able to do what the LLM is doing.
The thing that struck me most is that even if you take away the code-writing necessity, knowing what to ask the bot for requires so much expertise.

Steps like "These points are overplotted, can we fix that" or "Let's look at only the top 50 restaurants" are incredible non-obvious to beginners...
Hadley is demonstrating ggbot2 - an llm to help to transform a plot. As an analyst who has done endless iterations on a plot (can you make this gteen?), this is like a dream. #PositCONF2025

This would be the right time to push for the creation of an ‘old-school code school,’ proudly advertising that it doesn’t use AI — betting on the idea that programmers who actually know how to program will soon be rare and worth their weight in gold.

I am beyond excited to announce that ggplot2 4.0.0 has just landed on CRAN.

It's not every day we have a new major #ggplot2 release but it is a fitting 18 year birthday present for the package.

Get an overview of the release in this blog post and be on the lookout for more in-depth posts #rstats

J’ai eu le plaisir d’intervenir à l'@unedic.bsky.social autour de la stigmatisation des "chômeurs" et des manières de composer (ou non) avec l’assignation sociale du chômage. Merci !

Un entretien prolonge la discussion : shorturl.at/5AFS4

(Avec notamment des bouts de @michaelzemmour.cpesr.fr)
Charly Marie : « Le chômage est une expérience de vie majoritaire et normale en France »
Charly Marie, docteur en psychologie, a travaillé sur les ressorts psychologiques des perceptions des personnes au chômage. Ses travaux éclairent la manière dont se construisent les stéréotypes au cœur de la stigmatisation des personnes privées d’emploi et ses effets sur les chômeurs et chômeuses.

@dingdingpeng.the100.ci and @vincentab.bsky.social wrote an amazing paper about marginal effects.

While preparing my advanced statistics and methods class, I (surprisingly) had fun reproducing their Figure 1, adapting it to their Example 1, and ploting the text and arrows directly using ggplot().

Okay, so you've crunched your numbers and got some awesome statistical models? Sometimes, just knowing "X predicts Y" isn't enough to really get to the juicy bits. That's where the cool post-hoc stuff comes in – think estimated marginal means, contrasts, pairwise comparisons, or #marginaleffects.

🧵New paper out in Cognition

Why do people moralize harmless carnal sins (e.g. gluttony, masturbation)?

@danielnettle.bsky.social & I find that these behaviors activate reciprocity-based moral judgment—no need for a distinct "purity" module.

Pour les petits besoins de sa com' personnelle, M. Macron est en train d'engager la responsabilité et la réputation de la France, mais sans mettre les moyens, et en ciblant l'inutile.

En vouloir à la France va être tout à fait légitime. Et c'est très grave.
