MD, resident in clinical virology with a passion for science.

Dilatant in stats, code, history of science.
Fell into a rabbit hole on SO in 2019 thanks to excellent replies by @f2harrell.bsky.social and @wkhuber.bsky.social that I'm still digging into.
By pure luck, I encountered this very early and never had to go through the motions of ANOVA, ANCOVA, etc.

It's glm(m) all the way down with honorable mention of @f2harrell.bsky.social "favorite" proportional odds logistic regression.
Putting together a weekly book club for "Regression and Other Stories" (reply if interested!) and this page, "Common statistical tests are linear models," is a key motivation. If you git gud at regression, so much else comes along for free.

Lazy Sunday thought:

Is there an angle from which one could narrate an accidental (?) alliance between frequentism (especially Neyman-Pearson-Hypothesis-Testing) and the Popperian focus on falsification/fallibility (and in general deduction)?
