We just published an exciting paper. Due to the statistical flaws in validity studies, we don't know the error rates in firearms casework, i.e. the discipline doesn't have a scientific basis. @amandaluby.bsky.social @srvanderplas.bsky.social @mrosenblum.bsky.social academic.oup.com/lpr/article/...

Excited to share our hot-off-the-presses forensics paper @amandaluby.bsky.social @mcuellar.bsky.social @srvanderplas.bsky.social

New preprint is up! arxiv.org/abs/2312.00032 Work with Heike Hofmann (one of the best statistical programmers out there) and Sheng Gao (an expert in clustering, now working in finance). Funded by CSAFE. I loved @bwaber.bsky.social 's comment about the work, below:

The Harvard Data Science Initiative has launched its application for the 2024–2025 Postdoctoral Fellowship. Share with anyone who is a good fit; and have them reach out if their interest aligns with mine (e.g., causal inference, fairness, model validation, anomaly detection, GenAI, etc.).

📉📈 Some thoughts about my experiment using a data editor. First, he is awesome: careful and timely. A big round of applause to Adam Spencer. We want well-documented code and data packets. We encourage authors to follow these guidelines social-science-data-editors.github.io/template_REA...

We are searching for an Associate or Full Professor of Computational Social Science (broadly defined) to join our department at LSE If you'd like any more information, please feel free to reach out to me. Polisky
