Jazz and quantum mechanics

Scott Alexander as a modern-day Edmund Wilson

Last week on the blog:

• Jazz and quantum mechanics: Eventually Dmitri realized that they are kind of similar

• Adjusting for nonrepresentativeness in continuous norming using multilevel regression and poststratification.

• “The Data Analyst’s Guide to Cause and Effect”

• Survey Statistics: should MRP workflow include LOCO-CV ?

• Naming a jail after a convicted criminal

• Stein’s method, learning and inference -or- how to really monitor convergence and thin chains

• When is detecting AI-generated text worthwhile?

• What is the relation between interactions in a regression model and correlations among the predictors?

As usual, it’s a mix of statistical modeling, causal inference, and social science.
