Editor for #Statistics and #DataScience books at Chapman & Hall/CRC Press @CRC_MathStats. The usual caveats apply, views are my own.
📢 Public service announcement for #rstats users and learners working with geographic data: Geocomputation with R's Binder link is working again 🎉🎉You can give it a spin at r.geocompx.org and then clicking on the "Binder" link. #DataScience #geocompx
📢 Postdoc position @KAUST_News Spatio-temporal models for disease mapping, forecasting & early detection of outbreaks 🌍📊💻 PhD #statistics, #maths, #epidemiology. Experience in spatial stats/machine learning & #rstats 👉 paulamoraga.com/opportunities.…
In case you missed it last week: I've got a new tutorial out on how to map 85,000+ Census tracts performantly in #rstats with no external tiling required. Learn how here: walker-data.com/posts/national…
I haven't read this book, but the authors (Grant & Di Tanna) know their stuff, and they provide code for every script/engine. Meta- and mega-analysis one of those places where Bayes is natural and often easier than non-Bayes.

For the new kids in back: If you hate statistics, you'll love my free lectures. Putting science before statistics, from basics of inference & causal modeling to multilevel models & dynamic state space models. It's all free, made with love and sympathy. youtube.com/playlist?list=…
If you are at #SDSS2025 this week, please stop by and have a look at some of our fabulous @CRC_MathStats books and @tandfSTEM journals! @PaulNaish78 #DataScience #rstats @EMorsia

Bayesian causal survival analysis has never been so easy! Check out Han Ji’s (@BrownBiostats) paper & package, in press @ObservStudies. Convenient syntax, S3 classes & methods, help files, & efficient MCMC via @mcmc_stan. arxiv.org/pdf/2310.12358 github.com/RuBBiT-hj/caus…
A tribute to the longevity and stability of R: I ran the R code (over 700 lines) from the 2004 first edition of my book "Linear Models with R". Only two errors, both due to obsolete packages and both easily fixed.

You should read his book. It's genuinely illuminating. He did much good for the world.
I'm deeply saddened to share that Donald Shoup passed away last night. He was the ideal academic—curious, methodical, and concerned with turning ideas into real-world change. TAing his parking course has one of the greatest honors of my life. Rest in peace, Shoup Dogg.
