Simulating microbiome data has been on my mind since the PhD, and writing this together with Saritha, @mixomics.org and @jsb-ucla.bsky.social has been amazingly clarifying. Thank you also to participants of the @mig-unimelb.bsky.social workshops for all the valuable discussions! #rstats #microbiome

New paper with Sourav Chatterjee and Persi Diaconis: Estimating the size of a set with cascading exclusion, see arxiv.org/abs/2508.05901 and a whole github repo of examples in R spholmes.github.io/SetSize/, thank you #rstats and #quarto.
Estimating the size of a set using cascading exclusion
Let $S$ be a finite set, and $X_1,\ldots,X_n$ an i.i.d. uniform sample from $S$. To estimate the size $|S|$, without further structure, one can wait for repeats and use the birthday problem. This requ...

Here is a repository with the exercises I use in my data visualization class. We cover ggplot2/shiny and then consider different types of data (network, text, ...) and models (clustering, ...). I've tried to make the problems somewhat realistic. Feel free to reuse! github.com/krisrs1128/d...
