I love Python but i would never use it for data analysis. The UI (including command syntax) of Stata is superior. UI is important, especially for new users. Which is why we’re building a Stata-like data package in Julia:

Great advice! I do disagree with finding no use case for e.g. Stata: Stata still vastly outperforms Python & Julia for most regression-based analysis.

Sports betting legalization reduces net investments of households by nearly 14% overall. $1 of sports betting reduces net investment by over $2, increases credit card debt, but has no effect on participation in lotteries or other online gambling outlets. https://t.co/k8JRSvj6Da

All listed AFL players can be plotted, with their models scaled by height, to view entire team lists and their reported injuries.

What could a visual illustration of #AFL injury lists🩹look like? Of the 161 current injured players (19.9%), injuries most commonly occur in the thighs (hamstring and quad), ankles, knees and brains.

The pace of innovation in data science is astounding (and I'm not talking about AI!) 2 years ago, I wrote in my book about analyzing a 92 million row @ipums CSV file using a database in #rstats Now: just point `arrow::open_dataset()` at it and ` collect()` what you need!

What would Australia look like as a geographically accurate #Catan board? Thanks to satellite imaging and #rstats we are able to create 'CATANberra' - see how below 🧵

Are rising profit margins a source of significant inflation amplification? Not according to Australian micro data.

This book will give you superpowers: R for Data Science 2 Years ago, I started my #rstats journey with this book. And since then, I've used what this book taught me every single day. Absolutely best place to get started with R. And it's free. 🥳 https://t.co/BxBVrEdJWt

It's stronger than this. Take into account the non-linearities of having *a lot* of vacancies and *very few* unemployed, then we were "back to normal" in terms of match efficiency around 2022:Q2. Contra the GR, deteriorated for a decade (see: https://t.co/rxS1vdSkKH)

(August 2018) - We develop an equilibrium model of firm dynamics with random search in the labor market where hiring firms exert recruiting effort by spending resources to fill vacancies faster....

It's helpful to look at the "permanent" Beveridge Curve, excluding temporary layoffs (which soared in the pandemic). Makes it much clearer how we experienced a straight vertical climb in the curve, which now seems to be reversing.

"Mike, a Beveridge Curve for each state to go with the JOLTS numbers? Really? You already got the BLS to start throttling database access such that #econtwitter had to innovate a workaround. Now this?" We're just getting started.

For people that doubted that our education system was struggling as much as I said, see for yourself. A whopping 25% of American students in the bottom quartile on standardized tests
