  1. I've been reading about missForest today

    MissForest—non-parametric missing value imputation for mixed-type data

    academic.oup.com/bioinformatic

    github.com/stekhoven/missForest

    Runs much faster than `{mice}` in my experience, and I like the fewer parametric assumptions.

    The above article on missForest is David Stekhoven and Peter Bühlmann's most cited article.

  2. Alright! Today we premiered the logo of my subject Quantitative Methods 1. Ofc, it presents linear regression output. My question to you is: what's the applied problem we're talking about here? Can you guess?

  10. I’ve been trying to read more carefully about instrumental variables and make up my mind about when IV arguments are scientifically convincing.

    Here's a tension I keep running into:

    Should the scientific question alone determine the causal parameter of interest?

    Or is it legitimate for the target parameter to reflect an interplay between scientific interest and the identifying assumptions we actually find tenable?

    IVs can be difficult to interpret when instruments are weak, who “compliers” are is opaque, exclusion restrictions are debatable, or linear models are used in settings where the true data-generating process may be nonlinear.

    On the other hand, when an entire body of (aspirationally causal) literature rests on methods that try to close backdoor paths, IVs offer a genuinely different identification strategy. That seems valuable for evidence triangulation, even if IV analyses have their criticisms.

    What do you think? Are you a big IV proponent? Are you an IV critic?

    When do you find IV evidence persuasive?

  19. Identification and Semiparametric Estimation of Conditional Means from Aggregate Data
    arxiv.org/pdf/2509.20194
    Ecological inference is the challenge of estimating subgroup behavior using only aggregate data like geographic averages. This paper introduces a new semiparametric method using debiased #machineLearning to improve estimate accuracy. The approach formalizes identifying assumptions and uses many covariates to minimize statistical bias. Tools for sensitivity analysis and unit-level estimation ensure results remain #robust under varying conditions. Tests on voting and pollution data show this method outperforms traditional models in precision and speed.

  40. AI’s $1 trillion bet - is it an #AI bubble or dot-com bust? Global data‑center capital expenditure to power AI is projected to rise from roughly $430 billion this year to over $1.1 trillion by 2029 (which is equal to the GDP of the Netherlands). Why it matters:
    We’re witnessing an infrastructure boom that echoes a familiar pattern in tech history but the question is whether it’s building toward lasting transformation or racing toward collapse.

    Capital is pouring into data centers, cooling systems, power infrastructure, and networks at a staggering pace. Yet most AI applications haven’t proven they can generate sustainable revenue at scale.

    BTW, this article is a good one, even though it bears the hallmarks of some AI input. I’m tired of hearing about #AISlop from folks who don’t even read materials to determine if they deliver meaningful content. I use AI as my research & brainstorming asst. It works.

  43. 從檢定發現美國失業率是廣義極值分配特性。同時,Gumbel,type I有機率密度函數,真實告訴你美國失業率的機率模型,而不是出一張圖代表存在機率模型。

    以上這些方法都是超越傳統AI的數據分析方法,真正從數據本質出發打造精確統計模型,解決通用模型無法捕捉真實數據規律的難題,通過自動化建模過程揭示隱藏的數學規律。

    你學的是落在哪種層次呢?

    直線建模能做到,當然非線性的人工智慧自動化建模同樣能做到。數據規律的數學化、自動化(更新+建模+模擬)、強大而直觀的統計分析工具集成,統計學習達成。

    其中一種非線性建模:x.com/meiyulee357/status/19632

  44. 如何建構美國失業率的機率模型?機率模型最後要有數學式顯示,不能只是圖形。

    1) 直方圖?別想了,沒有數學式。只是圖像視覺化,不是數據分析,也不是人工智慧該有的數據模型。【不合格】
    2) 用直方圖的組中點和對應機率值?11組可以使用AI-based piecewise linear regression method的結果是兩段直線。整體的R2達73%。【合格】
    3) 建立更多分組的直方圖產生組中點與機率值。運用AI-based piecewise linear regressin method,產生9段直線。整體的R2達93%。【合格】
    4) 運用適合度檢定,檢定45種機率分配?發現美國失業率的機率模型服從Gumbel,type I(a=0.68,b=27.82)。根據a值升序模擬產生條件機率分配。【合格】
