I have encountered more image descriptions on Mastodon in 24 hours than I have in Twitter in a couple of years. Seriously. I'm not exaggerating.
As a blind person, this means a lot to me. If you read this and you describe your images, thank you so, so, so much on behalf of all of us. If you don't, now you know you'll be helping random Internet strangers make sense of your posts by typing in a few more words than usual.
@bnjmnsms I'll add a negative recommendation: I wouldn't dwell on achieving exact _numerical_ reproducibility across computers as this can be hard (setting the seed won't often be enough). Instead all the conclusions you make should be reproducible, i.e. extremely unlikely to be changed by rerunning the simulations again. E.g. check the standard error of your Monte Carlo estimates and add simulations until it shrinks sufficiently.
Mastodon is operated, maintained, and moderated by different passionate individuals and organizations, often out of their own pocket. Check if your server accepts donations on its about page if you want to help out!

Unlike Twitter, when you 'like' (Favourite) something here, it doesn't share that interaction with your followers.

If you've found a post or a piece of art that you've enjoyed - boost that toot! 

Working through Richard McElreath's video lecture on ordered logit (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-397DMPooR8) and just learned that I've been pronouncing "Dirichlet" wrong for *years*

It's "dir-ee-klay" not "dir-eesh-lay"!

Wikipedia's IPA confirms the "k" not "sh" too

Statistical Rethinking 2022 Lecture 11 - Ordered Categories

@yabellini I currently write all my analyses in R markdown, although only sometimes is the knitted markdown actually part of the publication.

I have one paper (https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0245103) where also the main text was written exclusively with markdown (source: https://github.com/cas-bioinf/covid19retrospective/).

The whole statistical analysis (a supplement) for https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/humu.23862 was also written and rendered in rmarkdown (source: https://github.com/martinmodrak/bbs-metaanalysis-bayes/).

A free online conference on Bayesian analysis of spatiotemporal data with the #Stan language tomorrow.

StanConnect 2022: Stan through Space and Time

This year's StanConnect for Bayesian data analysis focuses on the theme of time series, longitudinal, and spatial modelling.

My Mastodon introduction: I am a programmer turned applied statistician/bioinformaticion. I love the Stan language. The project I am currently most excited is working on the SBC R package (https://hyunjimoon.github.io/SBC/) that lets you validate that you implemented your Bayesian probabilistic model/algorithm correctly #statistics #bayesian
