- Does anyone here listen to Professor Jiang? @predictivehistory.bsky.social
- In (Gaussian) linear models, we usually put normal priors for regression coefficients. How do we feel about putting gamma(a, a) priors in something like Poisson regression? Using rates for rates seems nice; the geometric means are still 1, meaning the priors are centered on no multiplicative effects
- Haven't been here in ages so just gonna take the liberty of tagging @rmcelreath.bsky.social because I think he'd have some good thoughts on this.
- I can’t stand that online journals can’t format equations properly.
- What do people think of this? ai-2027.com
- Hey #stats people, what do we think about interpreting coefficients in cloglog binomial regressions? Since everyone hates odds ratios I wonder if interpreting hazard ratios is easier.
- Why do we peer review for free?
- I’m quitting.
- I need some help with parameterising a latent simplex, so a set of latent probabilities that sum to 1. Can anyone have a yarn?
- Hazard rates FTW 🎉
- brms is one of the most amazing R packages ever. Nevertheless I can't get myself to use it for my own work because nothing beats coding up your own models where you have ultimate control and insight into what's going on. There remains a "black box" element unless you are deeply familiar with it.
- Working on a multisite/multistate/robust design Jolly-Seber model in Stan where I need to marginalise (1) the entry occasion of each individual and (2) the sub-area within each site where each individual enters. 😮💨
