On deck this month

Actually, more like the next month and a half . . . I just have this long backlog so I thought I might as well share it with you:

  • Empirical implications of Empirical Implications of Theoretical Models
  • A statistical graphics course and statistical graphics advice
  • What property is important in a risk prediction model? Discrimination or calibration?
  • Beyond the Valley of the Trolls
  • Science tells us that fast food lovers are more likely to marry other fast food lovers
  • References (with code) for Bayesian hierarchical (multilevel) modeling and structural equation modeling
  • Adjudicating between alternative interpretations of a statistical interaction?
  • The most-cited statistics papers ever
  • American Psychological Society announces a new journal
  • Am I too negative?
  • As the boldest experiment in journalism history, you admit you made a mistake
  • Personally, I’d rather go with Teragram
  • Bizarre academic spam
  • An old discussion of food deserts
  • Skepticism about a published claim regarding income inequality and happiness
  • Understanding Simpson’s paradox using a graph
  • Advice: positive-sum, zero-sum, or negative-sum
  • Small multiples of lineplots > maps (ok, not always, but yes in this case)
  • “More research from the lunatic fringe”
  • “Schools of statistical thoughts are sometimes jokingly likened to religions. This analogy is not perfect—unlike religions, statistical methods have no supernatural content and make essentially no demands on our personal lives. Looking at the comparison from the other direction, it is possible to be agnostic, atheistic, or simply live one’s life without religion, but it is not really possible to do statistics without some philosophy.”
  • I was wrong . . .
  • Transitioning to Stan
  • When you believe in things that you don’t understand
  • Just wondering
  • If you get to the point of asking, just do it. But some difficulties do arise . . .
  • One-tailed or two-tailed?
  • Index or indicator variables
  • Fooled by randomness
  • Ticket to Baaaath
  • Ticket to Baaaaarf
  • Thinking of doing a list experiment? Here’s a list of reasons why you should think again
  • An open site for researchers to post and share papers
  • Questions about “Too Good to Be True”
  • Sleazy sock puppet can’t stop spamming our discussion of compressed sensing and promoting the work of Xiteng Liu
  • White stripes and dead armadillos
  • Ken Rice presents a unifying approach to statistical inference and hypothesis testing
  • Bayes in the research conversation
  • The health policy innovation center: how best to move from pilot studies to large-scale practice?
  • Heller, Heller, and Gorfine on univariate and multivariate information measures
  • Murrell, Murrell, and Murrell on discovering general multidimensional associations
  • “The graph clearly shows that mammography adds virtually nothing to survival and if anything, decreases survival (and increases cost and provides unnecessary treatment)”
  • Honored oldsters write about statistics
  • Enjoy.
