#statstab #482 Introducing Causion: A web app for playing with DAGs

Thoughts: A very cool app. Let's you see exactly what your assumptions and DGP mean for your causal model.

The Campus as a Nuclear Reactor: Why the System is Overheating

Life on a campus is life among biological cores: entities that look alike but connect by repelling one another. It is a reactionary power plant designed to generate energy.

This energy must be harnessed to feed the brain. Read on: https://library.profpeter.my/paper-trails/mastodon-short/campus-as-nuclear-reactor

#statstab #476 Experimental : causal

Thoughts: Randomized experiments are the gold standard for inference for a reason. But they are hard to design.

Not sure I'm ready to try to articulate how much this person enriches my thinking in one way or another but it's kind of like opening a window and feeling a summer breeze on my face. The courage of thinking and grappling with problems in public is a big part of the appeal.

'Why care about belonging? Because it is fundamentally useful. It lets us predict a huge slice of the variance in developer productivity. Why care about psychological affordances around teams? Because it is useful. It lets us predict where we will find more effective teams and design for them'

What symphony would you take to a desert island—and why? A classroom exercise on listening, disruption, and remembering what drew us to music in the first place.

#statstab #475 Experimental : descriptive

Thoughts: Not all experiments are causal. Sometimes the best we can do is describe a quantity or difference.

#statstab #474 {DeclareDesign} Observational : causal

Thoughts: If you want to do causal research with OS there is a lot more to consider than in #473
