University of Michigan has an open assistant professor position in Complex Systems. Amazing opportunity to do join an interdisciplinary community of faculty and students. Looking for discipline thinkers who transcend disciplines. https://t.co/bNHemzgO3J

I've updated data on media sentiment of Harris and Trump today, available at https://t.co/MxZxLWGYgb. Trends over time, and also some data on differences in coverage across networks.

For those of you using our textbook (https://t.co/GBZa6V1iR8) to teach or learn R and statistics:

I've just written a new appendix providing a quick overview of how to use Posit Cloud for analyzing data in the cloud: https://t.co/5JDM7ZLuMY

I hope you find it helpful! #rstats

Here are results from a sentiment analysis of television news coverage of Harris and Trump, up to today. Methodology is described in more detail on the website, and I'm hoping to update this page semi-regularly during the campaign. https://t.co/C8jWaHIA7A

[PJ Lamberson @pjlamberson]

I highly recommend this textbook, and the instructor resources are excellent.

Teaching stats and R using our textbook for complete beginners, Data Analysis for Social Science (https://t.co/GBZa6V1QGG)? #rstats

Here are some instructor RESOURCES for you:

Duke is hiring a tenure-track assistant professor of sociology this fall as well as a professor of the practice-- I'd love to see some great young computational social scientists apply! https://t.co/aIxClKzRsC & https://t.co/icZ0G5mReA

Kurt Vonnegut was a genius.

Teaching or learning stats and R? #rstats

My syllabus, lecture slides, interactive graphs, and other teaching materials are here: https://t.co/DWo0gTcf9G

I hope they are helpful! They are based on our textbook for complete beginners: https://t.co/GBZa6V1QGG

[PJ Lamberson @pjlamberson]

If you teach research methods or stats to social science undergraduates, I highly recommend this book.

[Elena Llaudet @ellaudet]

My textbook with Kosuke Imai (@Harvard) is finally out!

Assuming no prior knowledge of statistics or coding and only minimal knowledge of math, DSS teaches the fundamentals of survey research, predictive models, and causal inference + how to analyze real-world data with R.

If LLMs can simulate human survey responses fairly well, will this enable a new type of data fabrication/academic fraud? A question I wish I would have posed in this new article: https://t.co/M148OatUNl

[Scott Page @Scott_E_Page]

Impressive meta analysis of 500+ diversity studies https://t.co/srggAU7tVa. Four takeaways

1. Small Effects: Cognitive, Demographic, and Job Related Diversity have small average effect sizes.
True enough, but outperforming by 2-5% means winning.

“What’s so bad about students pitching tents on a green? That doesn’t threaten the core teaching and research mission,” said Christopher Edley Jr., a UC Berkeley law professor.
Yes!
Proud to be at a UC.

@AirbnbHelp I’ve been in contact by phone and chat. Apparently this has been sent to a “specialized team” but we’re on our way to our destination now and I haven’t heard back for 12 hours. Someone has to be able to over ride this. It’s ridiculous!

[PJ Lamberson @pjlamberson]

@Airbnb Your party risk algorithm needs some work. I haven't been a risk for trashing an airbnb since before you were born.
