Nerds of #statsky, particularly #rstats, has anyone got package recommendations that can take a data frame and create a synth of it that maintains metadata (var names, class, etc) and variable distributions, but wipes associations so that you can finalise your analysis before peeking at the data?

What really matters in volatile times
Despite the volatility of some financial markets, it is the underlying economy that matters. Fundamentals should be the focus.

🚨Happy to share our new working paper. 👇 Few patients with mental illness receive appropriate treatment. Increasing capacity helps, but the additional supply doesn't necessarily reach those most in need.
🧵 New WP with @kaimiele.bsky.social. We document 2 unsettling patterns in mental health care: 1) despite universal coverage, few individuals with mental illness receive guideline-consistent treatment, and 2) the more severe the illness, the lower the treatment uptake & the longer the wait times. 1/n

You probably saw the wp, now it’s published at AER: “Within a seminar series, women are interrupted more than men. (…). Interruptions that are negative in tenor or tone or cut off the presenter mid-sentence increase for women presenters.“

Okay I am willing to skill up from my current practice of copying code to and from the chat window (hey I like control!) to something more agentic. Anyone got a good tutorial/review of my options?? I'd prefer no vendor lock in and the ability to use local models to reduce energy use

Germany only second to the US in AI assisted code 👀🤯
This is how quickly Ai-assisted code is being adopted on GitHub repositories.
In just four years , the share of Ai-generated code in the US goes from negligible to aprox 30% by the end of 2024
