Shira is summarizing a new general approach to the analysis of survey data that I’ve been working on with @yajuansi.bsky.social and @statmodeling.bsky.social. We’d welcome feedback!

Now that I’m going to Playroom regularly again, there was no escaping hearing about MRPW (multilevel regression and poststratification with weights), see the draft paper by Andrew Gelman, Yajuan Si, and Brady T. West. Here’s their setup:

🚨 Who is willing to participate in video-based web surveys? 🎥

👉 Especially younger, male, and extraverted respondents as well as those with high survey interest.

Not a shred of defense being played by any college or pro football team in this state right now.

Sweet sports weekend. 👎🙄😤

Just the kind of game that makes you question whether Michigan Football has the right leadership in place. Brutal game plan, failing at fundamentals, dumb penalties…even worse that this was in prime time. Gotta right the ship next week, but UW is good. Guess we’ll see what they put together.

As good as Skubal is and as much as he deserves the biggest bag possible, the Tigers lost both of his starts in this series when it mattered most. They need to leverage his value to add 3-4 bats to this lineup if they are serious about getting past this point. Too many automatic outs.

The decision to play Keith and Meadows today was…not great. Two auto-outs. I like Hinch as a manager, but this was a brutal decision.

Some more shiny apps for the classroom -- here looking at different approaches to pooling information across groups (e.g., partial pooling), and how the group level predictions shift with changes in amount of data used for fitting.

it's wild that R, the ubiquitous statistical computing language, was co-created by a Māori prof (Ross Ihaka) — and yet the vast majority of scientists who use R don't know

this is like inventing the toaster. possibly the largest impact of a single member of an indigenous community on modern science

Riley Greene hit one HR all season against a LH pitcher to give the Tigers the lead...

Off Gabe Speier, on July 13.

His go-ahead HR today was off...Gabe Speier

I’m sorry what, 75% called strike accuracy?! That’s unbelievably bad for any game, let alone the playoffs.

Utter abominations of at-bats by Perez and Torkelson. The Tigers are just so frustrating to watch right now.

Utterly pathetic and unacceptable not to score in that situation. Win this game or not.

Yet more evidence against the highly questionable idea of silicon sampling.

AI-generated ‘participants’ can lead social science experiments astray, study finds
Data produced by “silicon samples” depends on researchers’ exact choice of models, prompts, and settings
