Most Customer Lifetime Value (CLV) models assume customer behavior is linear.

But what if it isn't?

I built an #rstats GAM for SaaS revenue prediction that captures:
→ Nonlinear adoption curves
→ Tier-specific behaviors
→ Feature value with uncertainty

Customer Lifetime Value models are critical for SaaS businesses, but standard regression approaches often predict impossible values like negative revenue or infinite growth. There are established meth...

niche #rstats tweet: does anyone have a nice snippet of code they would share to download, import, and reshape GLORYS12 ocean data?

Writing the 2nd edition of my data science book has reminded me of this: Students don't struggle with advanced topics. They struggle with fundamentals explained too abstractly. Teaching requires empathy, not just expertise.

Does anyone have an accessible guide for best practices in presenting DAGs and associated regression estimates in a paper?

This is for a student thesis project (and, frankly, for myself, as I have done it admittedly ad hoc, although no reviewers have so far complained.)

Today, we received notice that our team’s last remaining NSF grant was terminated. For the first time since 2009, when I received an NSF Fellowship for Graduate Research, I have no active NSF grants.
The U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) has undertaken a review of its award portfolio. Each award was carefully and individually reviewed, and the agency has determined that termination of certain awards is necessary because they are not in alignment with current NSF priorities.
Effective immediately, the following are terminated:
NSF AWARD ID:
2120496
NSF is issuing this termination to protect the interests of the government pursuant to NSF Grant General Conditions (GC-1) term and condition entitled 'Termination and Enforcement,' on the basis that they no longer effectuate the program goals or agency priorities. This is the final agency decision and not subject to appeal.
Costs incurred as a result of this termination may be reimbursed, provided such costs would otherwise be allowable under the terms of the award and the governing cost principles. In accordance with your award terms and conditions, you have 30 days from the termination date to furnish an itemized accounting of allowable costs incurred prior to the termination date.
Sincerely,
Jamie H. French, Division Director
Office of Budget Finance and Award Management (BFA) Division of Grants and Agreements (DGA)

A nice tutorial on distributed lag models using #rstats 📦 {mgcv}. But if you want to fit these to time series you might want to consider the {mvgam} 📦 instead ecogambler.netlify.app/blog/distrib...

Next person to ask me why I use #Rstats and not python has to start using Power Point for their data science work.
