Damn, my upcoming hierarchical modeling short course next week, betanalpha.github.io/courses/, has raised over 2000 USD for World Central Kitchen and Doctors Without Borders. There's still time to join and spread the word.

I'm still trying to find a good term for studying the range of behaviors in data simulated from a model. I'd appreciate feedback on a few candidates, patreon.com/posts/11524202….

A great reminder not to take arrows in diagrams for granted: what do they mean? what assumptions do we make about them? how reasonable are these assumptions? what happens if they fail?

Last chance to join us on Wednesday to learn about the intimate details of hierarchical modeling while also contributing to two important causes, betanalpha.github.io/courses/.

If you need a distraction tomorrow then note that you can still register for my four hour hierarchal modeling course, betanalpha.github.io/courses/. All you need to do is make a donation to one of two charities doing important work in Gaza right now.
