  1. 🔁 'Unrealized investment gains are added to a company’s profit for accounting purposes, according to the value of holdings at the end of each quarter. Unless the company sells any of the stakes, the gains are purely on paper. It also works in reverse: A decline in the value of investment holdings during a quarter can subtract from a company’s reported earnings.

  2. Here we have a classic example of the difference between causation and correlation.

    This article is titled: Could the iPhone be to blame for America's plunging birth rate?

    Ummm, no.

    You know what else happened in 2007, right? The economic crash that saw millions of people lose their homes, their cars, their good paying jobs, and their future, essentially.

    Of course they don't want kids. The economy has never really recovered.

    I am sure people will be reassured that 4 out of 5 had not been reported for domestic abuse. And while reported does not mean convicted, not being reported is not a guarantee that they have not been yet.

    Lots of nots there but there is a strong correlation between domestic violence and rioting neds.

  4. "Taking #population sizes into account, the trend line through the #data points shows that there is there’s a strong, clear #negative #correlation between Trump-leaning #orientation & low #life #expectancy at the #State #level. Deep red #states like #Alabama & #WestVirginia have #lifeexpectancy comparable to, say, #Kazakhstan."

  5. Looking at #correlation plots, I sometimes see R² ("R-squared") reported instead of the Pearson correlation coefficient r. While R² = r² holds in simple linear regression, reporting R² alone can mislead by omitting directionality. I have summarized the key differences between r and R² and tried to give a best-practice guide on when to use each:

  6. Garmin has stated I've reduced my fitness age from 45 to 43 in the past month. I also went on sabbatical this month. At this rate I'll be a fit 21 year old by the end of 2026 though I'd happily accept a fitness age of 35.

    When either chocolate or cheese is involved any correlation that supports enjoying chocolate or cheese is welcome. Causation is overrated in this particular context!

  8. @gilesgoat @brouhaha I have no back pain since 30 years.
    I do yoga since 30 years.
    So clearly no back pain causes yoga.

  9. "It is not uncommon for an analyst to conduct a supervised analysis of data to detect which predictors are significantly associated with the outcome. These significant predictors are then used in a visualization (such as a heat map or cluster analysis) on the same data. Not surprisingly, the visualization reliably demonstrates clear patterns between the outcomes and predictors and appears to provide evidence of their importance. However, since the same data are shown, the visualization is essentially cherry picking the results that are only true for these data and which are unlikely to generalize to new data."
