New blog: If you use observation-level random effects, your predictive checks are probably wrong. Here's how to do it the right way in both #brms and #PyMC. tl;dr: you need to sample new levels of the OLRE to avoid a false goodness-of-fit.

It feels like whenever OLS comes up on this site, one camp is talking about model checking (residuals, predictive plots) and the other about standard errors. Both talk past each other. Onlooks become more confused.

Has anyone had their @github account flagged before (all activity suddenly hidden from public)? I've had an open ticket with them for reinstatement for over a month with no response. .

StanCon is still happening in September. Have you considered the probabilistic dividends? Link in quoted. The keynote speakers will cover everything from disease to drugs to sharks. Bayesian Sharks (doo-doo, doo-doo, doo-doo)

More evidence of the prior recession. In the old days a high school graduate could afford a fat-tailed, Cauchy(0, 5) prior on a fixed effect. Now they struggle to afford rent on a N(0, 0.5). @rlmcelreath

Teaching statistics to grad students this semester. Reading Freedman's anti-regression piece "Statistical Models and Shoe Leather" (paper brought to my attention by @ed_hagen) next week to calibrate expectations. Tag urself on his ordinal scale of pessimism.
