What Conservative Think Tanks want to do about fiscal and domestic and #trade policies must never, ever be allowed to happen.

#statstab #322 Understanding spline transformation and regression coefficients
Thoughts: Spline seemed very intimidating at first, but they're just a bunch of lines! Stack Exchange is a cool source.
#statstab #321 You Just Said Something Wrong About Logistic Regression by @Phdemetri
Thoughts: Odd, probabilities, and risk ratios. Coefficients in logistic regression are only one of these.

#1: "Unceded” is a statement of fact, not an opinion.
#2: Lawfulness of a conflict is a statement of fact, not an opinion.
#3: Funny how there are lots of other "moral" arguments that are ok... but not this one.
#4: Diversity, equity and inclusion isn't a “doctrine”, it's simple kindess, get over yourselves probably-white-entitled-man-children-professors
The brain rot and fight against reason and empathy is coming to Canada. RESIST!!
"The petitioners want the court to order the university to stop declaring it's on unceded Indigenous land, from making statements on the morality or lawfulness of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and from requiring job applicants to declare support for "diversity, equity and inclusion doctrines." "

Are degrees of freedom something bizarre with a complicated formal definition?
#statistics #regression #mathematics
It came up in a conversation and I said "well yeah I know the 'parameters that can vary' analogy but not the REAL definition", but then my friend is like "... that is the definition"
So now I'm thinking I may have *imagined* a larger and hairy boogeyman definition when it was just that all along
Ich teile die Sorge und Verzweiflung, die Tracy Chapman im SPIEGEL-Interview äußert: »Da ich in den Siebzigerjahren aufgewachsen bin und von der Bürgerrechtsbewegung profitiert habe, zu einer Zeit, als sich die Dinge zum Besseren wandelten, hatte ich wohl die Erwartung, dass wir darauf weiter aufbauen würden.«
So kann man sich täuschen.

On #regression models #rstats:
1) cleaning method for test data has more impact than for train data
2) best performance does not require same cleaning process in both test and training data
3) regression models should should test several test cleaning pipelines.
#statstab #305 The Fallacy of Employing Standardized Regression Coefficients and Correlations ad Measures of Effect
Thoughts: Everyone loves effect sizes, but mind how you compute and interpret them.

Regensburger Ermittlungsrichter ordnet DNA-Test an
„Einen solchen Beschluss hat ein Ermittlungsrichter am Amtsgericht Regensburg letzte Woche gegen eine 22-Jährige erlassen. Ohne vorherige Anhörung verfügte er, dass bei der jungen Frau ein sogenannter Mundhöhlenabstrich „und im Falle der Weigerung die Entnahme einer Blutprobe“ vorgenommen werden darf. Ebenso ordnete der Richter an, dass ihre Wohnung „zum Zweck der Entnahme von Körperzellen“ durchsucht werden darf. Dies stehe „in angemessenem Verhältnis zur Schwere der Tat“, heißt es in dem Beschluss…..“
They want to teach our children a lie that white men have always been in power and did the important things.
If you're not aware, you need to look at how Iran was 100 years ago. Before they regressed their society to what we see today
Accuracy! To counter regression dilution, a method is to add a constraint on the statistical modeling.
Regression Redress restrains bias by segregating the residual values.

I mean, logically, it should have been easier to:
1. map the President's brain
2. intend to learn something from the map
3. progress to a more complex mapping of the brain of Drosophila melanogaster.
Pallab Ghosh (Science Correspondent, BBC) offers an eloquent description of the fruit fly:
"They can walk, hover and the males can even sing love songs to woo mates - all this with a brain that’s tinier than a pinhead."
It's alleged that funding for (1) was not forthcoming due to the previously acknowledged lack of connections between sparse neurons; the consequent likelihood of government-funded research finding nothing useful on the map.

How to assess a statistical model?
How to choose between variables?
Pearson's #correlation is irrelevant if you suspect that the relationship is not a straight line.
If monotonic relationship:
"#Spearman’s rho is particularly useful for small samples where weak correlations are expected, as it can detect subtle monotonic trends." It is "widespread across disciplines where the measurement precision is not guaranteed".
"#Kendall’s Tau-b is less affected [than Spearman’s rho] by outliers in the data, making it a robust option for datasets with extreme values."

#statstab #266 When to use negative binomial and Poisson regression

In a shocking #accessibility #regression, the TescoGroceries website no longer uses headings to show products, either in search results or on shelves. Without headings, screen reader users like myself can no longer navigate on a per-product basis. We now have to move by focusable control, which provides a lengthy and inconsistent way around that we've not had to use for the last decade. This can mean pressing "tab" or similar up to 5 times per product before adding it to my basket, reducing my efficiency accordingly. It's 2025 and we're still seeing ridiculous and 100% avoidable barriers to something as simple as the weekly grocery shop as blind people. Someone should be held accountable for releasing stupid code.
