Do adverse life events occur by chance? In two national panel studies covering over two decades, adverse life events show non-random co-occurrence and self reinforcing accumulation, rather than arising from “bad luck” alone.

A Study on Customer Support Team Configuration and Service Quality in Financial Services Enterprises A Study on Dispatcher Scheduling and Service On-Time Rate in Urban Public Transportation Systems A Study on the Impact of Member Mobility on Research Output in University Research Teams Authors Matthew R. Collins1, Daniel T. Harris2, James A. Wilson3* Affiliations Melbourne School of Engineering, The University of Melbourne, Parkville, VIC 3010, Australia Corresponding author: james.wilson@unimelb-placeholder.edu Abstract Customer support teams play a crucial role in ensuring service quality in financial services enterprises, and the rationality of their staffing directly affects customer experience. This study analyzes the relationship between staff size and service quality indicators, focusing on the configuration characteristics of customer support teams. Based on 18 consecutive months of operational data from the customer support center of a financial services enterprise, the sample includes 96 service teams, 2,430 customer service personnel, and over 3.2 million customer service records. Service quality is measured by average response time, first-time resolution rate, and customer satisfaction score.

This study analyzes the relationship between dispatcher scheduling and service on-time rate. The stud…
Someone went to the trouble of creating 5 fake OSF accounts today, linking to 5 fake ORCID accounts, and generating 5 fake papers to submit to SocArXiv, with fake author and emails. Dude, if you are reading this, I hope you get the help you need (or a better job).
This is a very important post to read and bookmark, especially now when we often are not sure if something Is true, AI or plain out disinformation. Thank you @matthewfacciani.bsky.social for sharing your knowledge with all of us.

A network graph showing relationships between mental health, physical health, trauma, struggles, resources, social experiences, and personality. Nodes represent factors like "Depression symptoms@1" and "Stress@2," connected by lines of varying thickness.
This narrative review suggests mental disorders are statistical clusters of biopsychosocial properties, not sharply defined categories, mirroring concepts in species classification and supporting dimensional #MentalHealth frameworks. ja.ma/4cGv4AZ
Some behaviours can easily be turned into habits—just repeat until it sticks.
Others are much harder.
Why the difference?

El lobby de las aerolíneas ha logrado en Europa lo que no consiguió en España. El Consejo ha adoptado un nuevo reglamento para pasajeros aéreos que acaba con la gratuidad del equipaje de mano que entra en cabina y reduce el derecho a reclamar por los retrasos de las aerolíneas. 🧵
Thanks to everybody who chimed in!
I arrived at the conclusion that (1) there's a lot of interesting stuff about interactions and (2) the figure I was looking for does not exist.
So, I made it myself! Here's a simple illustration of how to control for confounding in interactions:>

Introducing gander, the AI-powered coding assistant that can describe objects in your #RStats environment!
gander provides detailed data descriptions directly to LLMs for more accurate coding assistance.

I completely re-worked my course "Introduction to Bayesian statistics with brms" and taught it for the 1st time this week. It is meant as a tutorial for ecologists, but should be general enough for other sciences as well

New #rstats pkg gander is now on CRAN!
gander is a coding assistant that knows how describe the objects in your global R environment. So, when you're working with data, LLMs will know the names, types, and distributions of data columns, resulting in much more effective completions.
THIS IS HUGE! Researchers have developed a nasal COVID-19 vaccine that BLOCKS transmission of the virus. This suggests vaccines delivered directly to the nose or mouth could play a CRITICAL role in containing the spread of respiratory infections. Phase I clinical trials HAVE BEEN APPROVED! 🧪🧵⬇️

Esta mañana se me cayó un plato y lo vi todo a cámara lenta. Me dio tiempo hasta de alejarme y pensar la pereza que me iba a dar barrer los trozos. Juro que tuve esa sensación. ¿O es lo que yo creo? Pues en este artículo me autocontesto y os lo cuento.
