What Wondrous Love is This

There's a joke about Noah using rainfall for plausible exogeneity in there somewhere. I'm just not clever enough to make it.

Christian experimental design. Only natural experiments because there are no RCTs in the bible.

Table 2 Fallacy drives me nuts. Feels like reviewers are constantly asking to add all the covariate betas and discuss them! I've started dumping output into appendices with a discussion of "due to lack of interpretability, covariates betas should be interpreted with extreme caution."

Yeah, that makes sense. Guess I'm surprised folks can still hold to that with... everything

Have I missed something about Gelman? I'm surprised to see him on the same stage here.

In my experience, sometimes both reformed and Catholic understandings assume that the symbolic interpretation of memorialists is devoid of a spiritual reality (which I don't think is accurate).

For many modern memorialists, there just isn't a need for the term "sacrament" because the assumption is that Christ is mystically present within the believer at ALL times, and the ordinance is about taking time to appreciate and recognize that reality.

As a matter of technical theology, you are 100% correct. I think sometimes there is something about #2 that may get lost for those that grew up outside the tradition.

Hmmm. Not sure that's any different in practice from the memorialism of my Southern Baptist youth. It was always accompanied by prayer and contemplation of the Cross (with an assumed spiritual benefit). Maybe we were bad memorialists, but it may also speak to the fuzziness of these hard categories.

It took my family years to find TEC for this very reason. The evangelical psyop is potent.

I gave my resignation at Emory this week. I've been enriched by really great colleagues that I will miss terribly.

That being said, I will be joining the UNC School of Social Work as a senior methodologist for the school. Culmination of a lot of work, and I'm excited to see what the future holds.

I give it a week before this actually exists

I know I'm a bad episcopalian because I prefer KJV Psalms over Coverdale

Happy bday!

This was very neat - paper here ijpds.org/article/view...

That is a clever paper. Extends the idea of multiple imputation for measurement error and validation sub-studies. Cool to see it in this context.

If only there were some exposure or outcome that could be classified as "low, medium, and high."

Well deserved!

I'll be cold in the ground before I acknowledge lick-ert

Will be driving up to see my brother to watch it together (it's one of our things) for his birthday

Rewatched Scream 3 in preparation for Scream 7 tomorrow. God I love these movies, pumped for seeing tomorrow night.

Going into it I've decided Scream 3 and 4 are key to what's going to happen, and I can't wait to see if I'm right.

Bless my horror movie hating wife who watched 3 with me tonight

Is my intuition right for Wooldridges etwfe? Seems like you can follow a typical regression approach to testing for heterogenous treatment effects and then dynamic effects, potentially simplifying the model back down to a TWFE model if there doesn't seem to be a good reason not to.

It may be because most of my work is in the quasi-experimental world of "weird friggin designs", but this feels natural to power analyses via simulation. PI convos seem to naturally follow the advice when you have to build it all from scratch. Just not sure if that translates to "typical designs."

There is a big bass fish on the side of the helmet

But have you seen the US goalies helmet?

Working through a grant proposal and PI wants to base it on new design paper. Which is great... Until you realize they handwave away that randomization needed for the model to hold is impractical in almost every setting...

As a deep lover of Dune, you stopped before it gets REAL weird. Even for Dune.
