New paper in the Journal of Computational and Graphical Statistics. Kudos to Beniamino Hadj-Amar for leading the work.

The model uncovers evolving connectivity patterns in multivariate signals by combining switching dynamics with sparse graphs.

"The number of suspicious letters keeps growing [...] In 2023, the share of letters written by prolific authors -those who had three or more published in a year - was 6%. In 2024, it was 12%. This year, the investigators report, it is approaching 22%".

I'm exited to announce a new resource about making slides with quarto and revealjs. This book is the combination of all the work I have done in this area, reordered and polished up

There isn't a lot of new information yet, but this format allows me to add more easily

What is it @github.com @githubeducation.bsky.social? Am I faculty or am I not faculty? Why do you keep asking me the same question, after saying you won't ask for 2 years, and then not believing my answer?

I was in Portland last weekend. It was fine and fun, as always.
“He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures.

“He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil power.”

Trump says he authorizes Hegseth to deploy the military to Portland, which he lyingly calls "war ravaged," and says he is authorizing "full force."

When thinking about causal inference, mechanistic or process models are important. I think that the association of “causal” with black-box models leads to lots of problems.
