ggplot2 is the gold standard when it comes to data visualization.

The image in this post showcases examples of ggplot2 visualizations, demonstrating its versatility to create a wide range of plots with nearly limitless customization options.

Check out my online course, "Data Visualization in R Using ggplot2 & Friends," for a deeper dive into creating stunning plots with ggplot2.

When performing multiple imputation of missing data, it is essential to evaluate how the imputed values compare to the observed data.

The attached image, created with the bwplot() function, showcases how the distributions of observed and imputed values vary across different imputations for multiple variables.

I’ll be hosting an 8-week online workshop on Missing Data Imputation in R: https://statisticsglobe.com/online-workshop-missing-data-imputation-r

I recently stumbled upon the gt package for R programming, a real game-changer for anyone looking to elevate their table game!

Developed by Richard Iannone and colleagues, it simplifies table creation, supporting a seamless workflow from data frames or tibbles to professional tables.

Dimensionality reduction simplifies high-dimensional data while retaining its essential features. It’s a powerful tool for improving data analysis, visualization, and machine learning performance.

Misinterpretation of correlation and causation is a common issue in data analysis. Correlation measures the strength and direction of a relationship between two variables, but it does not imply that one variable causes the other.

Consider the statement, "Dinosaurs didn't read. Now they are extinct."

Krugman:
This is, by the way, [what] standard autocratic regimes are known for.

️In some ways, among their first targets are #statistical #agencies because they want the numbers to say what they want the numbers to say.

I’ve been at conferences in Asia where the Chinese government announces that the economy grew 5.3 percent.

And everyone at the conference asks not “why did the Chinese economy grow by 5.3 percent?” but “why did the Chinese government decide to say that it grew by 5.3 percent?”

️The numbers are our political statements, not reality.

And if I were a federal employee at the Bureau of Labor Statistics,
I would be extremely frightened;
quite quickly they’re going to be in the line of fire.

The last time around, back during the Obama years, when there was a lot of "inflation truthers" claiming that the inflation numbers were being manipulated to make it look like there was less inflation than there was.

Such accusations are always projections
—it’s what they would do, not what was actually happening.

We turned to various kinds of private sector independent measures of inflation, many of which were originally developed by economists in places like Argentina,
where manipulation of the data was standard so they developed their own ways to measure.

We’re going to be having to do that.

My guess is by sometime next year, we’re going to be having to look at proxies for what’s actually happening to the economy,
possibly for what’s actually happening to crime,
because the official numbers are going to be corrupted.

In Bayesian inference, a credible interval is a range of values within which a parameter lies with a certain probability, given the observed data and prior beliefs. The image of this post (based on this Wikipedia image: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Credible_interval#/media/File:Highest_posterior_density_interval.svg) represents a 90% highest-density credible interval of a posterior probability distribution.

I was expressing my suprise that someone doing any sort of #bioinformatics #Computational_Biology work doesn't use or see the value of #git.

The reply was that in their experience, in the sub-field of #statistical #genetics (industry and academia) version-control is not the norm. In fact, sharing code and having #reproducibility is not a thing.

Is this everyone else's experience?

While going over the methods, I noticed they used #NMF where #PCA is mostly used. And while refreshing ;) my knowledge of the differences between the two, I stumbled upon a simple question/answer on #CrossValidated: https://stats.stackexchange.com/questions/502072/what-is-the-main-difference-between-pca-and-nmf-and-why-to-choose-one-rather-tha

#MultiTarget tracking airborne #radar systems have been implemented using traditional #statistical techniques. Blackman's 1986 textbook is the leading publication on this knowledge front.

Multi-target tracking is a sophisticated application of the fundamental idea behind the 1960s Kalman filter—sequence prediction—which began with the 1900s Markov chain. In the 2020s, #LLMs are perhaps the most appropriate technique for solving this difficult problem.

This site is ... brilliant and twisted and beautiful.

Step 1: Compile a list acausal #statistical correlations ("Canadian GDP vs SF 49ers wins")

Step 2: Feed one to an #AI and prompt it to write:
2.1) A "credulous explanation",
2.2) A "goofy #academic research paper", and
2.3) a gorgeous AI image
