Hi #EconSky! I will be teaching intro statistics with #rstats next academic year. Any suggestions for free learning resources for students and/or teaching materials?

Nice thread on simultaneous confidence bands (SCBs) by @noahgreifer.bsky.social !

Not many papers explore varying critical values—despite cool uses like narrower or fairer bands.

Bit of shameless self-promo if you're into this 😉:

🚨 Big milestone for Rdatasets 🚨

The web archive now hosts 3400+ free and documented CSV datasets. Fantastic for teaching and testing!

And {Rdatasets} is a new #RStats 📦 for easy download and search

Just learned something new. You can buy spurious citations that will show up on Google Scholar -- and people do.

New working paper:

"Testing the Missing Completely at Random Assumption for Functional Data,"
joint work with Max Ofner*, S. Hörmann and D. Kraus.

As far as we know, it's the first paper on testing MCAR for functional data.

*Look out for this smart guy.

Grace Wahba, "the mother of smoothing splines," won the International Prize (aka the Nobel) in Statistics #stats for her representer theorem.

So well deserved! I guess, one could also give her the price again in two years for her work on Generalized Cross-Validation.

You puzzled me with this plot. My first thought was that it doesn't really look like the condition mean of Y | X=x, Group=blue.
2nd thought: No! Paul is doing it right, for sure.
Finally, "Sherlock"-me found the missing blue dots behind the black ones. 🕵️

Teaching intro data science or stats in environmental sciences / ecology this fall? The lterdatasampler package is now on CRAN, with curated real world datasets from the US Long Term Ecological Research program! Check it out: lter.github.io/lterdatasamp...

A hexagonal design with the words lterdatasampler at the top. Within the border are plants, animals and weather patterns representing the different datasets currently in the package.
