Can't think of a single time the MGM lion advanced the plot of the movie in any way. Just needless jump scare

Meant to go back and take a proper screenshot of this but by the time I remembered it had gone, for some reason. Folks, remember to remove all "memorabilia" from view before the estate agents come round to take photos.

So this week in the world of farm/environment/land management/ mapping has been “interesting” And by “interesting” I mean “verging on the utterly bonkers” Why? Well this week started with Natural England launching a new map naturalengland.blog.gov.uk/2025/05/12/a...

I wrote a thing about multivariate normal sampling in #rstats, and why you would be well-advised to prefer mvtnorm::rmvnorm() over MASS::mvrnorm() Now. Let us never speak of this again

“The damage this has done to our country is incalculable.” This sentence would feel right at home in some of the 1970s Monday Club/National Front material that I read for Imperial Island.

This is getting lots of attention - check the thread. I want to emphasize the basic problem: Just because you have randomized (or pseudo-randmized) a treatment, that doesn't mean you can reliably estimate interactions with that treatment. Which means post-strat prediction for population not possible

Thanks to everybody who chimed in! I arrived at the conclusion that (1) there's a lot of interesting stuff about interactions and (2) the figure I was looking for does not exist. So, I made it myself! Here's a simple illustration of how to control for confounding in interactions:>

I like this paper: not only does it review of all the reasons standardized coefficients are bad, actually, It also then goes on to show how test statistics can be used as measures of unique contribution/ effect size! - something that just sounds so so wrong! #stats doi.org/10.1080/0003...

1804. Oceans are now Battlefields. In the South China Sea a British convoy worth almost £1bn today is spotted by the French. It should be a massacre. Instead, Commodore Nathanial Dance is about to defeat a French battle squadron using some paint and the most overplayed hand in #navalHistory. /1 🧵

Another q for the stats people! People worry about collinearity (cf blog post below). Consider a scenario in which the collinear predictors are just controls to account for confounding. Including both of them doesn't impair the precision with which the effect of interest is estimated, does it?
