Christian experimental design. Only natural experiments because there are no RCTs in the bible.

I gave my resignation at Emory this week. I've been enriched by really great colleagues that I will miss terribly. That being said, I will be joining the UNC School of Social Work as a senior methodologist for the school. Culmination of a lot of work, and I'm excited to see what the future holds.

This was very neat - paper here ijpds.org/article/view...

Rewatched Scream 3 in preparation for Scream 7 tomorrow. God I love these movies, pumped for seeing tomorrow night. Going into it I've decided Scream 3 and 4 are key to what's going to happen, and I can't wait to see if I'm right. Bless my horror movie hating wife who watched 3 with me tonight

Is my intuition right for Wooldridges etwfe? Seems like you can follow a typical regression approach to testing for heterogenous treatment effects and then dynamic effects, potentially simplifying the model back down to a TWFE model if there doesn't seem to be a good reason not to.

Working through a grant proposal and PI wants to base it on new design paper. Which is great... Until you realize they handwave away that randomization needed for the model to hold is impractical in almost every setting...

Let us all bow our heads and acknowledge the new natural categories identified by LCA: Low, Medium, and High

Looks at weird distribution: "Don't make me get the bootstrap"

I feel like sometimes God is a LITTLE on the nose with the lectionary: "Is not this the kind of fasting I have chosen: to loose the chains of injustice and untie the cords of the yoke, to set the oppressed free and break every yoke?"

Trying to go to sleep before a big presentation and there's a finance bro loudly taking a call in the room behind me. If I have to spend all night hearing about vertical integration and the Spanish markets, I will be feral by morning

Every time

Really an excellent presentation of group level confounding and different associated models. I've never seen someone explain random vs fixed effects this cleanly. And as an epi doing econometrics, it's great seeing some love for Mundalk.

This is definitely a man who is wearing shorts and flip flops with that hoodie

As someone raised in an explicitly dominionist framework, I still get psychic whiplash seeing this story play out in real life.

Verse 3 of Joy to the World is an absolute banger. Is there a better line in any carol than "He comes to make his blessings flow, far as the curse is found." God has become man, alleluia!

Passing of the torch, the boy has slain me in the wrapping paper tube battle. It will be up to his sisters to avenge me.

This is a huge part of why so many people think we're in the middle of a widespread "anti-woke backlash": Small movements opposed to social progress are collected into trend stories by conservative media. Far larger movements that want more diversity are ignored or cast as threats.

I tend to think in a threats to validity framework (ala Shadish, Cook, and Campbell) instead of TTE. More and more, I think that's best for me. Even if just as a psychological framing of "here's what is wrong" vs what I see in TTE applications of "here's how it's basically an RCT"

The English dub VA for Light Yagami and Quatre Raberba Winner are apparently the same guy. I can't decide how I feel about this information.

What is with these people and hating OTC pain meds? I'm genuinely asking. What is the angle here beyond simply virtue signaling "strength" in the dumbest toxic masculinity way possible?

We have a release date for Scream 7. It's like Christmas for weird little dudes!

Hail, holy Queen, Mother of Mercy, Hail our life, our sweetness and our hope. To thee do we cry, Poor banished children of Eve; To thee do we send up our sighs, Mourning and weeping in this vale of tears

1. Experimental and quasi experimental design 2. Compilation of Final Fantasy 7 3. Whatever my kids have most recently info dumped

Yeah. My grandfather who used to show me his collection of every National Geographic ever printed, and would get so overwhelmed in family social situations he would go sit on the porch in utter silence for an hour at a time... Definitely neurotypical.

With all that's going on in the world, it's still nice to be able to ruin someone's night with a mean spirited blue/black MTG deck

Observational epi folks out here like "whatever happens, we have got DAGs and target trials, and they do not."

Everyone get in here, we are doing crowd sourced Pelagianism!!

"Many will say to me Lord Lord, did I not lead many parents across the globe to beat the shit out of their children in your name?"

Look, I know statistical significance is not magic, but we got a stop pretending that p-values north of 0.3 represent anything but noise or insufficient sample size.

Seven years of my life and I couldn't be more proud of this. So many people worked for many years to make this happen. A real testament to academic and community partnerships.

Some folks would literally rather get driven slowly mad by the genetic memory of their perverted grandfather because they are a pre-born abomination than go to therapy, but not me. I'm just built different — which is why I have decided to become a worm

To answer the original question... No

At least my favorite old hymn continues to be more relevant All her merchants stand with wonder, What is this that comes to pass: Murm’ring like the distant thunder, Crying, “Oh alas, alas.” Swell the sound, ye kings and nobles, Priest and people, rich and poor; Babylon is fallen to rise no more

“We’re gonna end up shooting some of them.” “Just remember, you can smell that too with a $30,000 bonus.” They said this while arresting an 18 year old US citizen who was driving to work with his mom.
