@rlmcelreath Pham-Gia had this to say about Beta difference inference with hypergeometric solutions

Nadarajah called beta of affine combinations of random variables non-central beta distributions Type I, Ii

Pooling? Confusing? Mixing? Yup!

@rlmcelreath Hardly blinded — how do you blind a CV? Remove all names in citations?

@rlmcelreath Simple and delicious! I soak a brick in water overnight, place in pan under the bread rack in the oven — Ice cubes are much easier! But brick reminds me of Quebec bread.

@rlmcelreath Yes the cats do this effortlessly while running endless scenarios with one another in their down-time

@sp_monte_carlo De Casteljau's algorithm rides again. Polynomial algebras inform network thinking. Thanks for excavating!

@sp_monte_carlo Building on Concrete Math here is Bob Smith’s version of the Twelvefold Way as a combinatorial operator in APL. Enjoy!

@SolomonKurz Arithmetic means? They imply equally probable outcomes. Quantiles all the way along with Quantile Absolute Deviation (from quantile concentrating locations). Medians as a starter. Also an economist.

@rlmcelreath Pathogen = erosion of cultural order leading to spiraling decline of society and the persons society supports; immunization is both passive and active progress of society meaningful only in terms of allowing persons to grow and transcend. But Is CRISPR then ~ generative AI?

@rlmcelreath Lover (friend) of wisdom and it all starts with thaumazein to wonder

@GinnyGills @howie_hua Best answers yet

@rlmcelreath Polya is brilliant for an age addicted to mere equation manipulation. He was trained in the tradition of Peter Kreeft’s Socratic Logic.

@rlmcelreath But interpretation must be consistent with the physical setup of the experiment. At a twins’ gender reveal party: one is revealed to be male. Given two genders, what is the probability that the yet to be revealed twin is male? Or female? Better yet that both are male?

@rlmcelreath I see a Wronskian in your future
