“You see, the endless renovation of the Stuttgart train station is a symbol of our late-capitalist condition: the project is always ‘in progress,’ yet nothing ever progresses. The construction site itself becomes the true destination.”

Yes - on track for next year

I had to check what I recommend in my book. And Poison priors (right) are also cursed. I'm working on something new with Gelman and Vehtari, so will make a note to review our examples for some consistency in these contexts.

she's doing her best

meanwhile pigeons be like

Thanks all for the comments. It would be good for beginner section to end with random and fixed effects models, and for advanced to start at same place. But not sure the scheduling could work for that. I will try to build out a calendar and see what can be done.

I did: Agresti & Coull. Wald’s complete class theorem is prob most famous eg. Also all the “empirical bayes” and related. Irony is bayesians used to be obsessed with uninformative priors, but informative priors ended up being more useful.

During the 20th century, frequentists proved on their own terms that Bayes estimators have good properties. The Bayes-Freq wars are over. Everyone lost. Agesti and Coull paper for the curious: doi.org/10.2307/2685...

Not sure. Will try as always. Previous lectures still online though: github.com/rmcelreath/s...

The students are more diverse now. When I taught at UC Davis, they were mostly population biology and ecology phd students. Not sure that's the reason though. Basic coding skills are in general much better now, so not all bad.

Worry: Advanced section may will need some refresher of beginner content. So will need a new lecture for that.

This would be more work for me, but possibly a lot better for learning goals.

when it’s near done i will add some cream
