This video is *bananas*—you can estimate π from a ton of random coin flips bc the expected prop of heads/total after 50%+ of the flips are heads = π/4 Here's an #rstats version I made of Matt's Python code in the video gist.github.com/andrewheiss/... With 10 million random flips I got 3.131381

Finally got around to adding fancy links to my different interactive teaching websites for showing things like p-hacking, p-value interpretations, and (still-in-draft-form) DAGs at www.andrewheiss.com/teaching/ #rstats #QuartoPub #statsky

📣 IJPA Award Highlight Congratulations to Mr. Nasir Uddin on receiving the #ASPA International Chapter Best Student Paper Award for his IJPA article “Impact of Crime and Insecurity on Citizen Trust in Public Institutions: Evidence from Bangladesh” (2025). tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

The Spring 2026 course website for my grad causal inference class is up and running. Was inspired by @andrew.heiss.phd and @mattblackwell.bsky.social to move my materials over to a standalone site and use as little of Canvas as possible. www.antonstrezhnev.com/ps813/

Finally got around to removing broom::tidy(), broom::glance(), and broom::augment() from my class examples in favor of parameters::model_parameters(), performance::model_performance() and marginaleffects::predictions() because they're *so nice* for teaching! #rstats #easystats

I don't know how I've missed it because it's *right on the documentation home page*, but if you use {glue} for nice string interpolation in #rstats and you have {stringr} loaded (likely through the tidyverse), you can use str_glue() instead of glue::glue() or loading library(glue) glue.tidyverse.org

Do you teach #rstats? Do your students complain about how lame and old-fashioned dplyr is? Don't worry: I have the solution for you: github.com/hadley/genzp.... genzplyr is dplyr, but bussin fr fr no cap.

The AYSPS is excited to promote our doctoral students who are currently on the academic job market. Check out all their amazing research and hard work put in at Georgia State! 💙

The {sf} package continues to blow my mind with how easy it is to make maps with #rstats and ggplot (code for that map here gist.github.com/andrewheiss/...)

Halloween logicals, still the best 10/31 venn

We have progressed from data collection to data analysis.

This morning my ChatGPT quota was inexplicably exhausted. It took a while but I pieced it together. Voice mode somehow got activated when I went to bed. The bot then engaged in a 10 hour conversation with my snoring dog, answering questions the pup wasn’t asking and praising him for his insight.

Congratulations! The article has also been selected by the editors @ijpa2022.bsky.social to have free access until the end of October.

🎉 Great news from Google Scholar Metrics 2025! IJPA has climbed from #8 to #7 among all PA journals globally! 🔝📈Proud to see IJPA continue its leading role in the field. See the full rankings here 👉 scholar.google.com/citations?vi... #PublicAdministration #ScholarMetrics

Collider bias is the trickiest one of these—I use this example too: If the true relationship between niceness & appearance is zero but you only look at people you've dated (i.e. adjusted for that collider) you're missing a whole quadrant—the result is wrong and only valid for part of the population
