Hey stats friends - if NHANES response rates drop from 68.5% to 25.7% (2013-2023), is it possible to correct for that to legitimize longitudinal data?

After all, people who drop out are probably different from people who don't.

There’s no reason why America should be having a measles outbreak in the big 2025. 😞

Aaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

#rstats package 'mpspline2' got its first CRAN update in a good long while today 🎉 This is thanks largely to the efforts of Andrew Brown at the USDA-NRCS, who has added the super useful ability to spline multiple variables in one call. cran.r-project.org/web/packages...

Journalist challenge: Use “Machine Learning” when you mean machine learning and “LLM” when you mean LLM. Ditch “AI” as a catch-all term, it’s not useful for readers and it helps companies trying to confuse the public by obscuring the roles played by different technologies. 🧪

A discrete global grid (DGG) is a mosaic that covers the entire Earth’s surface. Mathematically it is a space partitioning.

What are the most exciting trends you’re seeing in spatial data science lately?
Some of mine:

- New file formats (e.g. #GeoParquet)
- Geospatial DBs (e.g. #DuckDB + spatial)
- Global discrete grids

What would you add?

Introduction to Julia for R users – Nicola Rennie This blog post will give R users an overview of what Julia is and why they might want to use it, introduce some data processing Julia packages, and show how they can incorporate Julia into existing R ...

If you're interested in learning #JuliaLang and are currently an #RStats user (or even if you're not!), then here's a little introduction to getting started! 📊

@minecr.bsky.social is one of my go-tos for R, Quarto, and dashboard-related content. When I was figuring things out (still am!), I used to search YouTube and often found tutorials from her on the @posit.co channel.

#rstats folks, what do you think of the idea of a package that generates _brand.yml, color palettes, ggplot2 color/fill scales, themes, and quarto based website skeleton, all created with a user prompt (optionally image uploads)? The goal is to provide consistent branding in your projects.

2025 Joint Statistical Meetings - Statistics, Data Science, and AI Enriching Society The Joint Statistical Meetings (JSM) is the largest gathering of statisticians held in North America. Attended by more than 5,000 people, meeting activities include oral presentations, panel sessions,...

✨ Wednesday at #JSM2025:

👉 @jtleek.bsky.social joins the panel honoring @hadley.nz and the power of the #tidyverse.

👉 Lucas Liu presents on cancer recurrence detection using deep learning + LLMs, outperforming traditional NLP.

A screenshot of my JSM 2025 Agenda Chat bot, featuring the answer to "when is Mitchell O'Hara-Wild presenting".

There's so many parallel sessions at #JSM2025 that it's hard to choose where to go, so I web-scraped the schedule and made a chatbot to help.

I've made it public, so hopefully it can help you too - try it out 👉 shiny.mitchelloharawild.com/jsm2025/

From D1 football to earning a PhD in astrophysics.

What an honor for it all to culminate the day I was hooded as a doctor—being chosen to speak at UCLA’s Physics & Astronomy graduation.

Here’s a clip from my speech that I think applies not just to scientists, but to everybody

Huge congratulations to two of my favorite colleagues @sarahlotspeich.bsky.social & Staci Hepler on their SUCH well deserved CWS awards at #JSM2025 👏 👏

roast your colleagues Jeff Leek’s idea of a wild night is running a bootstrapped simulation — twice. Git doesn’t give Jenny merge conflicts; it opens an issue with a minimal reprex and apologizes. Mine’s rubrics are more detailed than most grant proposals — by the time you finish reading them, the semester’s over. Roger believes in reproducibility — which is great, because his jokes in lecture reproducibly bomb every time

The #JSM2025 roasts getting a reprise at @hadley.nz’s #user2025 keynote 😂

Let’s say you have very low sample response rate (recruit tens of millions and only tens of thousands self select into sample).

Then you have a RCT where there is clean random assignment of treatment.

Does the first stage sample selection bias your estimate of causal effect of treatment?

We introduce a method to quantify how extreme events affect ecosystem function and services. Paper out today in @natureecoevo.bsky.social - very fitting on a day that Cyclone Alfred is looming off the coast of my city!
