I try to put straight lines through things but usually fail. Try to be Bayesian when I can. Views my own. RT/like != endorsement.
Now's you chance to help Rick and show us all how smart you are!
Ok, fine, I'm gonna make a DAG. #stats and #episky people, what is dagitty and how do I make it DAG?

would this make Star Wars watchable? Yes, Yes it would
what star wars really need is a HUNT FOR RED OCTOBER style submarine thriller

Nerds, help out!
Got a strange analysis to do: I want to estimate how long prophylaxis can defer surgery. Problem is many Drs will just send straight to surgery, especially if patient is complex. If prophy is done, they'll check back every month or so until prophy fails, or pt ages out of the cohort #statsky #rstats

Saw someone wearing a shirt jacket, shorts, and socks and birkenstocks. Is this fashion, @p-hunermund.com?

Do you teach #rstats? Do your students complain about how lame and old-fashioned dplyr is? Don't worry: I have the solution for you: github.com/hadley/genzp....

genzplyr is dplyr, but bussin fr fr no cap.

I think a lot about this TikTok guy, shirtless, in a pool explaining how the experts are gatekeeping this bold, innovative money-making idea

It was to buy Rolexes, insure them, sell the watches then claim on insurance as stolen

Sir, this is the boring, age-old crime of fraud

This is definitely an interesting idea for display of Likert scale data allowing for don't-know / didn't-answer
Just trying out a way of showing Don't knows/Didn't answers.
Calculating the percents of Trust level and Party, then multiplying the don't know by -1 and using geom_col()

Are hot dogs sandwiches?

No, they're tacos.
If the bun hinge remains unbroken I think they are a type of taco

If only there was a good explanation as to why 🤔
Pre-post effect sizes neatly rise with baseline severity in this evaluation of inpatient/day treatment outcomes…

Me, a genius: man, it feels so late in the day right now. I can't believe it's only 3:15.

There is an empirical aspect to this question. Assuming the two teams are almost evenly matched, how many games would we need to reliably determine the winner?
Go ahead, do as much social science theorization as you want, you will always be the big Hollywood money team. Congrats on the win
The Dodgers' success is overdetermined: yes, it is money, but that is related in an impossibly complex feedback loop to good longterm planning, organizational culture, coaching, fan support, location, team pedigree, etc. If it were just money, it'd be the Yankees and Mets every year too.
