Heading up to #BES2024 today in Liverpool. Hopefully see lots of you there, and if you are going to be around why not drop in and see some of the group's talks (on #resilience, #seabirds, and #rewilding) @britishecolsoc.bsky.social

I highlighted this in the paper for ordered beta regression, but I think many don't know this: you can estimate ordbetareg *just fine* without obs at the bounds (0 or 1). Maybe your current sample doesn't have 0/1s... but future samples could! Ordbetareg works fine for *any* bounded data. #rstats
