"Kersjes said the dataset raised obvious ethical issues; first there was no proof that the kids in the photos were or were not autistic. Also, there was no way of knowing if the kids' guardians had consented to the photos being used this way."

Here's Why Dozens of Autism Publications Were Retracted
Dataset scraped photos of kids from autism websites without consent
After several years of structural and systemic work, I’ve released SMSA — A Structural Method Overview.
It distills the core operators and logic behind Systemic Pattern‑Structural Analysis, a substrate‑neutral approach to reconstructing functional architecture from fragmentary or uneven evidence.

SMSA — A Structural Method Overview
Systemic Pattern‑Structural Analysis (SMSA) reconstructs functional architecture by deriving structural necessity from the formal properties of a system rather than from narrative or analogy‑based interpretation. The method integrates pattern recognition, structural derivation, and systemic logic to identify organisational principles that emerge from the interaction of system elements. Recurrent configurations are treated as indicators of functional constraints, enabling coherent reconstruction even when evidence is incomplete or uneven. Functional plausibility is evaluated through mechanical viability, organisational feasibility, and relational consistency. SMSA provides a rigorous, transferable framework for analysing distributed, relational, and network‑based systems across cultural and disciplinary contexts.

#renaming a method in Python! 🤦♀️ Enter "Jujutsu" - the tool everyone never asked for, but somehow still insists on using. Spoiler: It's like trying to solve a Rubik's cube with your elbows while blindfolded. 😂

Yahoo FinanceSamplyr is an #Rstats package providing a tidy, readable way to describe and run complex #sampling designs in #R. Multi-stage, stratified, PPS, sample coordination with permanent random numbers & more are supported.
People coming from SAS SURVEYSELECT or SPSS CSPLAN, should feel at home.

A Tidy Grammar for Survey Sampling
Provides a tidy, composable grammar for specifying and executing complex survey sampling designs. Supports stratified, clustered, multi-stage, and multi-phase sampling with a minimal set of verbs that compose naturally. Designed to bridge the gap between verbal descriptions of sampling plans and executable R code, following tidyverse design principles. Includes synthetic sampling frames from African countries (Burkina Faso, Zimbabwe, Kenya) for learning and testing.
