Since the y axis is just ordinal quantities, it's odd they didn't show it as a bar or line graph (with perhaps a little more specificity as to year, month). Clearly someone at WSJ was having a laugh.

Even beyond the absurd defense of Nico at one point Klosterman says that OKC won the ordinal Harden trade because they won a title 13 years later with an entirely different team and Houston never won a title.

Nature research paper: An ancient recombination desert is a speciation supergene in placental mammals. Because the locus underpins reproductive isolation across ordinal lineages, it may represent a reliable marker for resolving challenging relationships across the mammalian phylogeny.
An ancient recombination desert is a speciation supergene in placental mammals - Nature
Deep learning methods identified a large and evolutionarily conserved X-linked low recombination region in placental mammals that serves as both a barrier to gene flow in hybridizing lineages and an a...

Deprive them of their money, and their sick views go back to the margins where they belong.
If you own the NASDAQ (say, through an ETF like QQQ), 1.33% of that is your own personal stake in Palantir. Don’t give Alex Karp your money.

89) the word אחד is not a numeral. it’s an adjective. that’s why none of the unique aspects of numerals (appearing before the noun, reverse gender alignment, related cardinal and ordinal forms) apply to it. in hebrew, oneness is the state to which numbers do not apply

I did many hours of work on their complex league teams only to find almost nothing worth writing about. I don’t think guys like John Spikerman or Griff McGarry would warrant a mention in any other team’s report and they both would’ve made an ordinal top 20 here.

I think ordinal models would fit in this scenario as well. Tagging @f2harrell.bsky.social to please check if is a sensible option

You have to be careful about treating ordinal variables such as the IMD as cardinal, but these results are broadly in line with lots of stuff we've seen suggesting that the 'left behind' story of rightwing populism is substantially incomplete at best.
While support for Reform UK is often noted to be higher in “left-behind” areas where deprivation is thought to be more pronounced, the correlation between their vote share and different deprivation measures remains rather weak. Only deprivation in education shows a somewhat stronger relationship.

after some cool theoretical background, I think these slides sum up Thomas Lumley's talk well
especially "resist mathematical defaults", "rank tests have stronger assumptions than the t-test" & "ordinal data is not the easy option"
a very different take from Frank Harrell's writing on the subject!

I have extended my post on the Omnific integers to discuss how they relate to ⟨Ord⟩, the subring generated in No by the ordinal numbers. After all, ⟨Ord⟩ is a discretely ordered subring of the surreals.
Is it an integer part?

Can we find a surreal-numbers analogue of the integers? An integer part of the surreal numbers, a discretely ordered subring, for which every surreal number is within 1.
