Categorical outcome model class slide construction on continues to proceed basically as anyone who knows me might expect ...

I've gotten through all of my materials and ended class early two weeks in a row, and now I am both excited and scared.

Due to various circumstances, I've been working in my office on campus instead of at home this morning. It is extremely cold in my office. Which makes me wonder if hell literally froze over the second I decided to come here. 🤔

Some R package names, I swear ...

Today’s 90s movie reference that my students will never get. Context: discussing why you shouldn’t treat ordinal outcomes as if they are continuous.

Count outcome slides are coming along.

No one: Daycare: March 3rd is dress up like Dr Seuss day! 😃

One of the old FIU cybersecurity trainings talked about building a ‘strong shield’ against cybersecurity threats. Now, when I report a phishing email or text, in my head, I’m like, “FUCK YOU, MY SHIELD IS STRONG!” Not sure if that means that the training was effective or not.

I can’t catch a break. But I *can* catch literally every virus my daughter picks up at daycare.

As always, treating the history of statistics with the respect and reverence that it deserves.

All pneumonia is walking pneumonia when you own an extremely needy dog. 🐕

It is only our hubris that ever led us to name it “the negative binomial distribution” instead of “the Poisson distribution with wiggly gamma means.”

The negative binomial is just like the regular binomial, except everything is terrible and nothing matters and what’s even the point?

Matrix overview slides for my regression class are coming along.

I have neither beneficence nor respect for the persons who created the extremely long CITI Training Good Clinical Practice modules and mandatory 100% quiz question pass rate requirement. 😒

I am Dunkin, Dunkin is me.

8 mo home sick from daycare. No big deal but marathon kinda day. Circa hour 11 of the waking day we’re watching Ms Rachel and all of a sudden, I swear to God, she goes: “Can you say … help? … HELP … heeeeeelp …” And my brain starts to break, just a little. 😅😂🤣

Had a blast teaching SEM at #APS2025! Great group of workshop attendees asking thoughtful, engaging questions. Hopefully folks learned something and had fun in the process!

Interesting and important topic!
