#RStats ftw! One down 🎄😊

I'm sorry to hear this, very sad news. I used {car} today, as I often do, and Fox and Weisberg (2019) is never far from reach - I used to use it in teaching too. {sem} is another of his, I think the first SEM package in R. My condolences.

Meanwhile on Mastodon

I was going to say, but they don't use LLMs for trials surely... but then omg simulated data??

Hmmmm first thought: anyone can use the automatic plagiarism machine but not everyone can or needs to conduct a study or analyse a dataset. But maybe you have in mind practices relying on data, like what goes on in businesses or how people use tracking apps. They could use more rigorous inference?

All very nice but please consider how the message will be understood by those of us who weren’t born here. You risk replacing one exclusion with another.

Very pro just-vibe for titles 😊 Unless someone is running a study on title prevalence. Gender, ethnicity, etc. better as tick box plus option for freetext. Code up the freetext too.

"Isolation" at Gorse runs from 8.30am to 3.05pm and sees pupils having their lunch in the room and not being allowed to socialise with other students.

The Gorse Academies Trust’s current behaviour policy also sees pupils facing what it itself calls “Isolation” for “lines in their eyebrows,” uniform violations or forgetting their student planner twice.

You'll have to explain it a bit more and use emojis if there was a joke thanks

For trials we use permuted blocks or minimisation and siblings

The solution obvs is to add more detail for gender and gender modality then I'd be happy

Also I'd guess what happens is that someone suggests adding a small number of standard titles like Mx plus a free text option and then someone else says, well if we're having those "woke" titles then I want Captain etc. too.

Annoys me a bit because it's rare to get the same detail for gender.
