#statstab #305 The Fallacy of Employing Standardized Regression Coefficients and Correlations ad Measures of Effect
Thoughts: Everyone loves effect sizes, but mind how you compute and interpret them.
How to assess a statistical model?
How to choose between variables?
Pearson's #correlation is irrelevant if you suspect that the relationship is not a straight line.
If monotonic relationship:
"#Spearman’s rho is particularly useful for small samples where weak correlations are expected, as it can detect subtle monotonic trends." It is "widespread across disciplines where the measurement precision is not guaranteed".
"#Kendall’s Tau-b is less affected [than Spearman’s rho] by outliers in the data, making it a robust option for datasets with extreme values."

Now, I'm not saying that cocktails in general or my drinks-making ability specifically have magical healing powers but my wife, who's had cough/cold symptoms for the last few days, hasn't coughed or sneezed or sniffed once this evening while I've been whipping up some gorgeous raspberrytinis.
#statstab #212 Eight basic rules for causal inference
Thoughts: Good explanation of the basics; confounder, colliders, randomization, and when to adjust.

We are glad to announce the release of AIL v5.9, packed with numerous updates and fixes that enhance the performance and features of the framework. This release focuses on improvements in qrcode handling, `dom-hash` support...
The fingerprint is calculated by extracting all the tag names (ignoring the content itself as well as attributes of the HTML Page). The tag names are concatenated with a pipe value , hashed using the SHA-256 algorithm, and truncated to the first 32 characters.
Software such as LookyLoo or MISP have implemented the algorithm, the AIL framework now support the dom-hash algorithm to cluster and group similar page structure.

New #survey points to #correlation between #ChristianNationalism (#Fascism) and #authoritarian #views.
A large majority of #Christiannationalism supporters scored high on #authoritarianism #assessments.

#statstab #167 How would you explain covariance?
Thoughts: Cov explained simply (link1) and complexly (link2).
Sure, it's good to promote healthier life #habits, but doing so via #CreditScore still seems to be a way to punish the #poor for being poor (and thus having to do grocery irregularly, esp. for those living check-to-check). Also, desire to seek more #correlation with #creditworthiness will result in more and more factors being collected, furthering various biases... Not to mention #privacy...

Yes. You'll find a lot with a #duckduckgo search.
From the #EvolutionaryBiology perspective there is the human need to see patterns where there are none.
"That cloud looks like an elephant." for example.
#Causation vs #Correlation challenges everywhere.
The quote, "Never attribute to intention what can be explained by incompetence." has many variations that push back on our tendency to jump to the nefarious when the truth is more banal.

For the past year, stock and bond prices have mostly ebbed and flowed in tandem. Such positive #correlation has long been a big fear for many, as it reduces the benefit of holding both asset types. But what we just saw is a switch back, chart @ReutersMikeD https://www.reuters.com/markets/us/markets-may-be-waving-not-drowning-mike-dolan-2024-08-09/

We’ve all heard the thing where mom says, “don’t go in the water for at least an hour after eating.”
I wonder how many generations of mothers, going back how many hundreds of thousands of years, in how many human and pre-human species, have cautioned their children about this because they saw what could happen?
And scientists are finally getting around to testing whether it’s really #causation, or just #correlation.
Connecting the dots regarding #China, #Russia, #Ukraine, #Iran, #SaudiArabia, #Israel. #BFD
Meanwhile, #Russia too is distancing itself from #Trump #VP #JDVance if its state TV coverage of #Vance reported by #JuliaDavis is to be believed
All of the above are discrete data points, and we know that EVERYONE who confuses #correlation and #causation ends up dying.
Still, it is tantalizing to imagine the implications if these are indeed connected
