blog post: weights and MRP for voters

so far we've talked about weights and MRP for E[Y], vote choice in the population overall.

but what if you want E[Y | V = 1], vote choice in the population of voters.

what are the weights and how do you modify MRP ?

Numbers can’t bring back lives lost, but they can support truth and accountability.

That's why @hrdag.org uses statistical analysis and careful data curation to ensure we know the truth about state violence.

blog post: MRPW

you've got a survey collected by someone else, and they gave you weights.

how can you use those weights in the MRP (Multilevel Regression and Poststratification) ?

blog post: random sampling is not leaving

we turned to response instrument Z because random sampling is "dead"

but does this method still rely on starting with random sampling ?

HRDAG stands firmly with the human rights community in insisting that encryption is not optional — it is fundamental to the defense of truth.

Any attempt to ban or backdoor encryption technology is a threat to the human rights community.

blog post on imputation (again):

we want E[Y|X] but X can be missing

@lucystats.bsky.social @sarahlotspeich.bsky.social @glenmartin.bsky.social @maartenvsmeden.bsky.social et al. say:

random imputation should use Y
deterministic imputation shouldn't

blog post: connections between survey statistics and experimental design.

split-plot designs are analogous to cluster sampling.

blocking is analogous to stratification.
