@CapitolCorridor Nope, 538 still not moving

Huge, huge OSS release today. You can use state-of-the-art adaptive experimentation (Ax) and Bayesian optimization (BoTorch) software from Facebook to optimize your systems and products.

Because of #GDPR, USA Today decided to run a separate version of their website for EU users, which has all the tracking scripts and ads removed. The site seemed very fast, so I did a performance audit. How fast the internet could be without all the junk! 🙄

From our friends Jon Krosnick of @StanfordHumSci & @davevannette: *The Palgrave Handbook of Survey Research* (https://t.co/hOtN2SbB1g). It is super comprehensive. Short overview chapters + deep dives. Methods. Practice. Surveys still matter. This book can help us do better

@BALos I think @rachelvannette might know something about @ucdavis Aggies :)

Interesting - boardman saying what I said 🤔 if Sagan goes so should Demare 😱but since when has cycling been equal & consistent

[Dave Vannette @davevannette]

@ScottClif Both are problematic given the demographic bias introduced. Matching/balancing for post hoc adjustment might be a solution, anyone done it?

Congratulations to @davevannette - Palgrave Handbook of Survey Research is out! @Qualtrics https://t.co/4rChuQleLY

@ScottClif It's a problem with ACs if they are used (as they commonly are) to remove inattentive Rs

[Emily Thorson @emilythorson]

New post from @Qualtrics on why to avoid attention checks in survey research. Cites work by @AdamBerinsky @ScottClif https://t.co/07CebdPbw6

[Dave Vannette @davevannette]

@ScottClif I'm not opposed to measurement, we just need innovation. Traps cause Rs to give worse data, so we need different ways of measuring attention

[Dave Vannette @davevannette]

@ScottClif There's risk in assuming that all data from Rs that miss an attn chk are junk. Low cog skill Rs may miss chk but still give valid opinions

@harvarddlabss Your link is broken

@MasabuAida this is a great event, enjoy! Also look for the Reed's Lake Triathlon in Grand Rapids, one of my favorites in the country.

The point of graphics is the point, not the graphics. Graphics that are cooler than they are useful don't belong in your paper.

Why so much variation in Trump approval #s? Take a good look at sample frame: likely voter vs registered vs gen pop https://t.co/YhryUmG3sd

The case cited by the White House as evidence of illegal non-citizens voting didn't involve any non-citizens voting https://t.co/ZW41KeaBI0
