@jeffjarvis @Paxxi @leo seems like a a good IM topic. https://tuxmachines.org/n/2026/03/13/I_traced_2_billion_in_nonprofit_grants_and_45_states_of_lobbyin.shtml
Tux Machines — I traced $2 billion in nonprofit grants and 45 states of lobbying records to figure out who's behind the age verification bills. The answer involves a company that profits from your data writing laws that collect more of it.

I will be giving a talk for the New York Open Statistical Programming Meetup group on March 10th on some work I have been doing around cluster analysis. Come to NYU or watch online.

Has anyone in the #rstats community tried writing a function/package to create common cartridge files to import into learning management systems? Ideally what I am looking for is something that would convert (R)markdown files to something I can import to my LMS (Canvas and Brightspace).

Trying something different with Mount Snow in neon.

Am of two minds about the light reflections...maybe microfacet is better.

Looking for help from the #rstats and #bayesian hive mind. I am trying to explain the difference between confidence intervals and credible intervals. Given a sample, how do I estimate the posterior? I am hoping to avoid using any package so I can see the "raw" R code.

The R Foundation :rstats: (@[email protected])

It is with great sadness that we learned of the death John Fox this week. He was the author of numerous books on applied statistics and accompanying #RStats packages including car, effects, Rcmdr, ivreg, and matlib. John was a member of the R Foundation until 2023.

I've been taking a deep dive into the central limit theorem and in particular the notion of infinite versus finite populations. This may be what tips me over to being a full time Bayesian. While some toy examples I use for teaching (coin tosses, dice, etc) I can conceive of infinite populations, in practice we almost never have infinite populations.
