Hamiltonian tails
“We demonstrate HMC’s sensitivity to these parameters by sampling from a bivariate Gaussian with correlation coefficient 0.99. We consider three settings (ε,L) = {(0.16; 40); (0.16; 50); (0.15; 50)}” Ziyu...continue reading.

Take a margin of error from a confidence interval and multiply it by 1.5; a future, replication estimate should be within that distance of the original estimate (with the same...continue reading.

Abstract: We follow up on last weeks post on using Gapminder data to study the world’s income distribution. In order to assess the inequality of the distribution we compute the...continue reading.
Regression coefficients are typically presented as tables that are easy to understand. Sometimes, estimates are difficult to interpret. This is especially true for interaction or transformed terms (quadratic or cubic...continue reading.

Point-and-click graphical user interfaces (GUIs) for R allow people to analyze data using the R software, without having to learn how to program in the R language. This is...continue reading.
The proposed solution of the riddle from the Riddler discussed here a few weeks ago is rather approximative, in that the distribution of when the n-sample is made of iid...continue reading.
A guest post by @MaxMaPichler, MSc student in the Group for Theoretical Ecology / UR Artificial neural networks, especially deep neural networks and (deep) convolutions neural networks, have become increasingly popular...continue reading.
A new update of my sjstats-package just arrived at CRAN. This blog post demontrates those functions of the sjstats-package that deal especially with Bayesian models. The update contains some new...continue reading.
In the previous post https://statcompute.wordpress.com/2018/03/23/subset-by-values-in-clojure, it’s been demonstrated how to subset by value in Clojure. In the example below, I would show how to subset by index by using the...continue reading.
