- Reposted by Jess GravesEver stared at a table of regression coefficients & wondered what you're doing with your life? Very excited to share this gentle introduction to another way of making sense of statistical models (w @vincentab.bsky.social) Preprint: doi.org/10.31234/osf...

- Lil’ Muncher (official name lol) update: 1) LM abandoned his post at 50% consumption but 2) Found a friend, LM2 3) And many more 😵💫 Consumption rates have become exponential and sadly all (visible) Munch Bunchers had to be evicted.
- Little muncher < 24 hrs later: 1) still on the same lead (! I was surprised by this!) 2) leaf consumption at 50%

- Reposted by Jess Graves#rstats So chuffed! I printed the first PDF copy of my book to see what it might look like in print! It will be printed in full color! Visualizing Multivariate Data and Models in R On the whole, looks good, but lots of tweaking to do. It weighs in at ~440 pgs., so perhaps some cutting needed.

Anyway, gently dropping my attempt to visualize the y-axis scaling mismatch: darakhshannehal.quarto.pub/scrollytelli... :) #dataviz

- One my favorite resources!! I am working on a review of how paired t tests are a unique case of mixed models.

- I fortunately had a professor in my MS program who worked very hard to illustrate these points and it was such a blessing.

- Reposted by Jess GravesTo say that "the data show these vaccines fail" in regards to the mRNA plaform is unforgivable. For those of you that don't remember - this is the data from a SINGLE dose. In December 2020. So good I cried in grateful tears.
- JUST IN: HHS shuts down BARDA mRNA vaccine program Scrapping the fastest platform we have is a reckless move rooted in a fundamental misunderstanding of vaccinology. No respiratory vaccine blocks all infections. mRNA vaccines have saved millions of lives. www.hhs.gov/press-room/h...
- Oh no. And, seems like they never adjusted for it or considered it a candidate covariate? 😢 This is a really great reminder that: 1. Blind pre-specification & testing “baseline imbalances” can really miss the mark. 2. Confounding due to differential loss to follow up is real and bad lol.
- Sometimes it's good to revisit the basics. Part 1 of a series on using the binomial distribution to interpret & power studies on rare events -- inspired by Martin Bland's write-up, "Detecting a single event". Spoiler: rare events are hard to find 😜 🔗: tinyurl.com/2hb9vh68 #rstats #stats101
