People around me mention this bias all the time, and everyone seemed to get it (except me). This blog post helped me so much!

Together with Penelope Yong, I ported some of Michael‘s nested quantile visualization tools to FlexiChains.jl. These are super useful for model critique — a key part of Bayesian workflow! Make sure to check out Michael‘s repo if you’re using R or Python.

I'm certainly a #julialang evangalist, but I've toned it down a bit - a lot of scientists don't have the time or inclination to go against the grain. Then again, when someone makes it this easy... #tidytuesday #rstats nrennie.rbind.io/blog/introdu...

“But even if you do not “produce” something, eg as a birder who just likes to watch birds, it is still something people value in you. That is because Spinozist full expression of yourself is virtuous.”

Earlier this month I gave a workshop on Bayesian methods in epidemiology. With my hosts I developed a pretty elaborate, demonstrative analysis for the workshop which I am happy to share publicly here. HTML: betanalpha.github.io/assets/chapt... PDF: betanalpha.github.io/assets/chapt...

My new favourite pastime: - find a bird (of course) on Wikipedia - switch language to Suomi 🇫🇮 - translate the page using some plugin - benefit I present to you, the Hippie Ovenbird (also known by it's lesser known, and far more boring name "Pallas's Leaf-warbler")

I'll talk about Bayesian workflow Thu 24th April 11-12 CEST in Learn Bayes seminar by Karolinska Institutet @ki.se learnbayes.se/events/bayes... (zoom available) The focus will be different to my previous workflow talks (see users.aalto.fi/~ave/videos....). This time more flowcharts and shortcuts

A flowchart. The first box has text "Build a model" and arrow to the second box. The second box has text "Model and prior checking" and arrows to the third and fourth box. The arrow with text "not good" goes to the third box, which has text "Refine model" and an arrow back to the second box. The arrow with text "good" goes to the fourth box, which has text "Use the model".
