Joshua on Supplement that alphabetized display with another graph showing the states in a more informative order.July 8, 2026 8:40 PM
As I've thought about the Anoneouid comparison more... it's actually a really interesting comparison. My position was never a blanket…

Raphael Nishimura on Survey Statistics: toy example for energy balancing weightsJuly 8, 2026 7:58 PM
Interesting, thanks! I'll say I'm quite intrigued by that and will try it myself when I have tge opportunity.

Daniel - I appreciate that you've clarified your position. Earlier, I thought we disagreed about whether things like voluntary behavior,…
Andrew King on Is fabricating data worse than fabricating results? Is failing to correct a known false report more or less serious than making the false report in the first place?July 8, 2026 6:18 PM
Thank you all for posting. All very informative. My two cents are that knowingly publishing something that misleads is research…

Jared Huling on Survey Statistics: toy example for energy balancing weightsJuly 8, 2026 3:50 PM
Somewhat counterintuitively, energy balancing can often have a comparable effective sample size as raking, but when it's much lower it's…
Jared Huling on Survey Statistics: toy example for energy balancing weightsJuly 8, 2026 3:49 PM
Hi Shira, I should say up front that I'm not an expert on survey sampling, so take all of this…
Raphael Nishimura on Survey Statistics: toy example for energy balancing weightsJuly 8, 2026 3:46 PM
I'm curious whether the weights produced by the energy balancing have more variability than the raked or post-stratified weights. Intuitively,…

Joshua, To be fair, I don't disagree with the potential to write a fairly complex model incorporating all the things…

2-body orbital mechanics is nonlinear, which creates sensitivity to initial conditions, but not chaotic

Now if only weather were comprised of spherical elastic cows in a vacuum, then we'd have something!
