It's a ridiculous job market now, #statssky #rstats. It's like Grok wrote it. Whoever wrote the job announcement or fed the tool deserves a field day on r/AmItheIdiot.
Inaccurate job description that appears to have been made with Grok.

Good advice for many reasons you may already suspect but I will give you another: you can run a linear regression with no inference on betas as a descriptive tool to summarize data. Regression as a summary of your data is a legit thing that we just don't make enough use of. The reason is 1/2

Interesting data point: I pulled the 2023 GDP data at the US State level and compared the total GDP of states that went for Harris in the election versus the total GDP of states that went for Trump. It ended up being a 13 trillion Harris/14 trillion Trump split. Just a neat data point.
