Me and my neighbor out at the weekly town demo today:

Wow. 😮

Talk about a practical, actionable advice!

Me too!

What a great reason to do some online shopping, thanks!

Which model do you recommend?

Mad respect

In the end, everything we do we do for love. Most of us don't do much because of love, though, to the detriment of the people who are around. In this way, we fail these people, and we fail ourselves.

That is certainly true at least in the sense that no one truly understands anything. Although I doubt that we should all stop pretending that we truly understand some things. It is so much fun to pretend that we do! Also, my job seems to require exactly that!

I will carefully read the paper and maybe get back with some thoughts. Thank you for being patient with me.

... the only merit can be statistical, so it is essentially unrelated to any substantive question; and even as a statistical solution to a statistical problem, the switch tends not to improve things much.

I am sorry but I do not understand your response. A change of a statistical model has either statistical or structural merit. In the case of switching from e.g. the ols linreg to e.g. the graded response model, ...

Firstly, rules are mostly either chosen or discovered rather then made. Secondly, it would be quite nonsensical to, as a general *rule* (yup), make instances of some kind with the goal of breaking them. Don't even get me started about this injustice/courage bs.

Now that is some wishful thinking. It rhymes, though, hence I give this quote the rating of

In other words, this poor woman was completely unable to follow any kind of logic. That is some nasty stereotyping, if you ask me.

4/8 (because of how intriguing are the daily dynamics of this relationship)

I wonder if this is a joke about the subtleties of the pragmatics of communication :-)

... because no ordinal regression model is a valid candidate structural model of the response process of a human being.

In psychological research, an ordinal regression model is more useful in exactly one sense: it better describes the observed distribution of the dependent variable. However, it simply cannot solve any problem related to the internal process that generates the ordinal response....

Having Trump, a white, powerful and extremely rich man, as president after Obama, who is black, decent and highly educated, is like a perfect lesson for the entire world. A long lesson, full of clear and vivid examples.

This one is easy: sulk.

This should always have been the end of it.

The mean is never misleading; an *interpretation* of the mean might be (and often is). Also, there is no such thing as a meaningful ordinal regression model of *behavioural* data.

That is the worst idea ever. How can you even begin to learn what you think if you do not try to express, and by doing so *realise*, your thoughts in some kind of language.

0/10 (and I am being generous)

In Korea, when the president declared martial law after midnight and erected barricades in Seoul, congressional reps from all parties ran into the streets, yanked ak47s from the army at the barricades, broke down the locked door to Congress, repealed the martial law order, and arrested the president

No joke. She literally yelled “SHAME!” As she yanked the gun from a dude in the Korean Army and then broke through the locked congressional door to vote.

NOW: B52 bombers are literally in the air on their way to Iran and hundreds of thousands of Iranians are in the streets waving flags and surrounding bridges & power plants.

Difficult to imagine this has any precedent in modern warfare.

These are some fierce people, those democrats.

Now this is just nonsense. Skillfully hidden, sure, but nonsense nevertheless. It is also a rather boring quote.
