Shira is summarizing a new general approach to the analysis of survey data that I’ve been working on with @yajuansi.bsky.social and @statmodeling.bsky.social. We’d welcome feedback!

Lots of our #srms colleagues got RIFd last week. I wrote to get them reinstated.

👉 Especially younger, male, and extraverted respondents as well as those with high survey interest.

Not a shred of defense being played by any college or pro football team in this state right now.

Sweet sports weekend. 👎🙄😤

Just the kind of game that makes you question whether Michigan Football has the right leadership in place. Brutal game plan, failing at fundamentals, dumb penalties…even worse that this was in prime time. Gotta right the ship next week, but UW is good. Guess we’ll see what they put together.

Nope, not even close.

Uhhhh…the Michigan defense looks terrible top to bottom? Get it together. 🙄🤬

Someone needs to get Wink some smelling salts…wake up and adjust to what is going on with the screen game plez thanks

As good as Skubal is and as much as he deserves the biggest bag possible, the Tigers lost both of his starts in this series when it mattered most. They need to leverage his value to add 3-4 bats to this lineup if they are serious about getting past this point. Too many automatic outs.

I really hope that this game doesn’t run into the USC game. 😬

TROY MF’ING MELTON

Stud!

The decision to play Keith and Meadows today was…not great. Two auto-outs. I like Hinch as a manager, but this was a brutal decision.

let Skubal hit

Some more shiny apps for the classroom -- here looking at different approaches to pooling information across groups (e.g., partial pooling), and how the group level predictions shift with changes in amount of data used for fitting.

Crazy 😂

These Tigers aren’t dead just yet! #gritty

The U.S. government may refuse to think that this is important or worthy of funding, but high-quality research in this area continues.

Jahmyr Gibbs is an absolute beast. My goodness. 💪

This was beyond brutal. Gotta hope there is improvement this series…

Oh man what a game. The Tigers really grinded that out. Props.

Tigers-Mariners is just maximum intensity right now 😐

Utter abominations of at-bats by Perez and Torkelson. The Tigers are just so frustrating to watch right now.

Utterly pathetic and unacceptable not to score in that situation. Win this game or not.

AI-generated ‘participants’ can lead social science experiments astray, study finds Data produced by “silicon samples” depends on researchers’ exact choice of models, prompts, and settings

Yet more evidence against the highly questionable idea of silicon sampling.

Finally an iota of sanity.

Wait…you mean the inability of the Tigers to hit anything wasn’t automatically cured by the magic “It’s The Playoffs Now!” switch? Weird. 🙄
