There is a new-ish Python package, moderndid, that implements almost all of the "modern" DiD estimators:

Look under your tree! 🌲 🎁

There's a major #rstats #rdatatable release waiting!

A tremendous thanks to all involved and especially those contributing to some major (performance-maintaining!!) rewrites around the non-API issue.

We're doing the final sprint, and I think we're able to send the PDF of the forthcoming Bayesian Workflow book to the publisher in the next two weeks (500+ pages), which would mean it would be published some time next year

Any good ressource for LEARNING PROGRAMMING for students who know NOTHING about programming (really nothing)?

It would be great in R/python (final obj. is data analysis).

Any help appreciated! Thanks!

One of the things that has been on my to do list for a very long time, is building a gallery of all of the charts I've made across #TidyTuesday, #30DayChartChallenge, #30DayMapChallenge, and other miscellaneous projects 📊

And it's finally here!

new paper by Sean Westwood:

With current technology, it is impossible to tell whether survey respondents are real or bots. Among other things, makes it easy for bad actors to manipulate outcomes. No good news here for the future of online-based survey research

Question, if you were including something like this 👇in a report or paper, would you label it as e.g. "Table 1" or "Figure 1"?

Or something else?

(assuming whatever software you're using let's you pick either)

Say I wanted ~9k USD to buy out the teaching time of a prof (a brilliant coauthor of mine) so he can work on creating a validated ground truth dataset for a challenging data extraction and labelling task that current public LLMs (e.g. GPT5) have not yet saturated. Who do I pitch?
