Client says "I have followed some patients over time and have recorded initial and final measurements. I have no control over how long patients were observed. I want to know if there is a change over time".
Do you fit

or
lmer(measure ~ duration + (1|patient))

I read title, abstract, first results table / graphic.
If within these 3 things I am not enticed to read on, I'm not reading it.
As a corollary, I now write with this pattern in mind.

For every topic in linear algebra I forget, there is also a topic I seem to remember remarkably well -- especially given I last took a class in 2013.
Today's amazement brought to you by Projections and orthogonal bases.

Lift is a tricky estimand, so we rely on a rule of thumb to let us know when we can reliably estimate it.
The rule of thumb is not too bad.

I'm not going to romanticize being a dentist, but I just discovered that my dentist's office is run by 4 people (all women btw!).
Small team, making money hand over first, and -- from what I can tell -- getting along? Seems like a good life to me.
