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 {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/...)

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.

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

People are enraged by health insurance denials because they arise when they are at their most vulnerable and least able to respond. Both physical and mental health matter to our ability to respond to the types of administrative demands that insurers rely on. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....

Lots of the students in my dataviz class speak other languages, so I wrote up a little guide about how to change the locale in #rstats to get localized month/day names with {lubridate} and other R functions datavizf24.classes.andrewheiss.com/news/2024-11...

I’m grateful for the incredible experience at this year’s hashtag#ARNOVA24 conference. It was a privilege to connect more deeply with many mentors and friends, and I’m truly honored to receive the Bowman Award from the Nonprofit Finance & Financial Management (NPFFM) section.
