Who's reading #books on #statistics or #DataAnalysis right now? Here are 5 recommendations from me, but I'd love to hear what you're reading on this subject because my to-be-read pile can easily take another 10 kgs of books! www.youtube.com/watc...

Love for books Episode 1: Statistics
Tony and Bob are out, so I sneak off to my bookshelf to grab some cool books to share with everyone. Today, it's books on statistics (a word that if you say it enough, you can no longer say - as I discovered). It's a rapid tour of five books (in five minutes) and why they are interesting. How to L

Wading through this literature can be mind-boggling 🥴 but clearly would help my thinking around cluster-randomized trials and their analysis. Can anyone recommend a multilevel modelling course that would cover this material well? #rstats #statistics #statssky

Some sad personal news to share: About a month ago, I was diagnosed with a rare, aggressive abdominal cancer. The cancer was discovered too late to treat so I am currently in palliative care, waiting for a hospice bed to open up. I am looking at a few months to live with a bit of luck. 🫣

One of my pet peeves with dplyr verbs in R is filter(). It should remove the rows which meet the condition(s). What is the most readable way to remove rows which meet a joint condition? e.g., remove rows where col_a == "x" & col_b > y? #rstats
