For my 3rd sketch of #Mathober2025 by @fractalkitty coded in #Locomotion, ClusteredButNot takes the 2nd prompt of “Deviation ” and uses a line of Raccoons to show a skewed distribution which has an effect on the Deviation.
#Poem
They are in line
But the distance isn’t measured as a feature
For this not treasured for these creatures
As they waltz till it is no longer time

#statstab #303 When Your Permutation Test is Doomed to Fail

Thoughts: Permutation tests are great, except for when they're not. Skewed data + unbalanced samples.

Please ignore any polls you see from Rasmussen and The Trafalgar Group. Neither are credible - they are simply pro-GOP polling services trying to manipulate polling averages.

Cultural Bias - Opinions skewed by ones own culture compared to others. #bias #culture #skewed #opinion

It took me a while
to understand
you really believe
you speak the truth

That your view
gets skewed
by your desires

But your ego
protects you
from seeing

It took me a while
to understand
you really have
no integrity

For the 7th Prompt Of Mathober: Skew, Skewedness takes Histograms coded in Python that contain two skewed arrays: red for the right and blue for the left. Then overlays them in various matters to get the outcome that is Skewedness.

The GOP Is Trying to Steal Democracy in Ohio. That Has National Implications.

#Ohio is already one of the most #gerrymandered states in the country. Its maps are so unfair that its own state Supreme Court voted multiple times to send the maps back to the drawing board, only to have its rulings repeatedly undermined, the clock run out, and the #illegally #skewed #maps still used in the midterms.

Now, a new threat looms in the Buckeye State. Facing the prospect of a #citizen #initiative to #restore statewide #abortion #rights this November, the GOP-dominated Ohio legislature is moving in advance to block it.

They have proposed a measure to increase the vote requirement for a constitutional amendment from a simple majority to 60 percent, along with making it far harder to qualify a citizen initiative.

In short, the Ohio GOP wants to write in a supermajority requirement, just as the will of the majority, which favors reproductive choice and the protections of Roe v. Wade, is about to make itself heard.

Wait, can they even do that? Just blatantly #move #the #goalposts, right as progressives are getting ready to score?

Unfortunately, there is no legal barrier preventing this. Instead, the people of Ohio need to make it clear that they will not put up with this #power #grab.

The GOP Is Trying to Steal Democracy in Ohio. That Has National Implications.

Republicans in the state want to raise the threshold for passing constitutional amendments to stop abortion rights from advancing via citizen initiatives.

#Kurtosis was an important #parameter differentiating #size distributions, with #platykurtic distributions in #marls and #leptokurtic distributions in #limestones, suggesting that this parameter may reflect different degrees of #time #averaging. Most size #distributions were positively #skewed, but most strongly in marls. Complete #sampling led to #skewness values close to zero (#symmetrical distributions) and high kurtosis.

News reports of political #violence are compiled into large global #conflict-event datasets used by academics, governments, and international organizations. We study how these #data may be systematically #skewed. Our #replication exercise shows that media-based data fail to uncover the results reported in leading #economics/#polisci articles.

ESOC Working Paper #32 - News Media Reporting Patterns and our Biased Understanding of Global Unrest

News reports of political violence are systematically compiled into large global conflict-event datasets used by academics, governments, and international organizations. These datasets present opportunities to examine the micro-dynamics of conflict but are often systematically skewed. We compare various news-report based datasets to high quality...
