#rstats package 'mpspline2' got its first CRAN update in a good long while today 🎉 This is thanks largely to the efforts of Andrew Brown at the USDA-NRCS, who has added the super useful ability to spline multiple variables in one call. cran.r-project.org/web/packages...

Journalist challenge: Use “Machine Learning” when you mean machine learning and “LLM” when you mean LLM. Ditch “AI” as a catch-all term, it’s not useful for readers and it helps companies trying to confuse the public by obscuring the roles played by different technologies. 🧪

What are the most exciting trends you’re seeing in spatial data science lately?
Some of mine:
- New file formats (e.g. #GeoParquet)
- Geospatial DBs (e.g. #DuckDB + spatial)
- Global discrete grids
What would you add?

Let’s say you have very low sample response rate (recruit tens of millions and only tens of thousands self select into sample).
Then you have a RCT where there is clean random assignment of treatment.
Does the first stage sample selection bias your estimate of causal effect of treatment?
