  6. #paperOfTheDay "Relations between short-range and long-range Ising models" from 2014.
    The basic version of the Ising model in #statistical #physics is a lattice where every site contains a binary variable, a "spin" that can point up or down. There is a nearest-neighbour interaction which energetically prefers neighbouring spins to point in the same direction. Then, there are "long range" versions, where the interaction also takes into account spins at larger distance, with a weighting factor that decays with some power law with exponent sigma (where sigma=2 reproduces the conventional short-range model). In this class of models, there are thus two parameters: The dimension d, and the parameter sigma.
    The present paper is mostly a numerical Monte Carlo study of various such systems at different d and sigma. The guiding question is whether instead of two, there is actually only one parameter. Phrased differently: Given some d and sigma, can I find some other D such that the short-range (sigma=2) model at this D is equivalent to the long-range one at d? It is intuitively plausible that this works close to the interface between long-range and short-range models, making it slightly long-range is mostly the same as slightly changing dimension. However, the authors demonstrate that such relations are in fact only an approximation, and fail for generic values of sigma and d.
    A second finding concerns the structure of the correlation functions of certain long-range models, which decay according to a power law (as expected from the #renormalization group), but where the leading correction is another power law (and not exponentially small).

  8. I'll just put this here for the #record in case anyone wants to #question me about it later.

    I #donated with #BitCoin back in January to #AnnasArchive and now the site's knocked #offline literally.

    I paid like C$120.00 for the online form of the #project just to disappear.

    Yeah ok #wikipedia has them moving #domains every other day but it was a lot more stable than that before I gave them a leg up.

    This is why I hate centralized #websites and hosting.

    This is why #self #hosting works by connecting #dedicated #servers to the #internet as a whole.

    If you use anything less, you will face more #legal challenges hosting #human #knowledge and unfortunately, it is as #simple as that.

    You cannot convince me that #BigTech is not turning into #authorized #tech as it seems as though the #copyright #industry and the #torent industry has eluded to colluding with one another to obtain #rights for.

    Guys, I don't know what to say anymore. I'm a huge fan of #books and #media and #free #open #source #software and I long for the day that the #government doesn't need to get a cut of everything I #download or #upload anywhere, especially for #personal #use over all.

    Please do whatever you can to fight #statistical #bottlenecks where ever they appear. I want humanity to have better access to #education and #intelligence built by real people in a fair and consistent manner.

    I always am striving and trying my best to be a better #human being.

  17. appears to be an uncanny fit (orange) to 400 measured values (blue) using 16 sinusoidal frequencies! this time it's grant work, not contract work, so i will be able to explain this in more detail eventually... for now, it's just a work in progress that looks cool :)

  29. When performing multiple imputation of missing data, it is essential to evaluate how the imputed values compare to the observed data.

    The attached image, created with the bwplot() function, showcases how the distributions of observed and imputed values vary across different imputations for multiple variables.

  34. Misinterpretation of correlation and causation is a common issue in data analysis. Correlation measures the strength and direction of a relationship between two variables, but it does not imply that one variable causes the other.

    Consider the statement, "Dinosaurs didn't read. Now they are extinct."

  35. Krugman:
    This is, by the way, [what] standard autocratic regimes are known for.

    ⭐️In some ways, among their first targets are #statistical #agencies because ➡️ they want the numbers to say what they want the numbers to say.

    I’ve been at conferences in Asia where the Chinese government announces that the economy grew 5.3 percent.

    And everyone at the conference asks not “why did the Chinese economy grow by 5.3 percent?” but “why did the Chinese government decide to say that it grew by 5.3 percent?”

    ⭐️The numbers are our political statements, not reality.

    🆘And if I were a federal employee at the Bureau of Labor Statistics,
    I would be extremely frightened;
    quite quickly they’re going to be in the line of fire.

    The last time around, back during the Obama years, when there was a lot of "inflation truthers" claiming that the inflation numbers were being manipulated to make it look like there was less inflation than there was.

    ❌Such accusations are always projections
    —it’s what they would do, not what was actually happening.

    We turned to various kinds of private sector independent measures of inflation, many of which were originally developed by economists in places like Argentina,
    where manipulation of the data was standard so they developed their own ways to measure.

    We’re going to be having to do that.

    ⚠️ My guess is by sometime next year, we’re going to be having to look at proxies for what’s actually happening to the economy,
    possibly for what’s actually happening to crime,
    because the official numbers are going to be corrupted.

  36. In Bayesian inference, a credible interval is a range of values within which a parameter lies with a certain probability, given the observed data and prior beliefs. The image of this post (based on this Wikipedia image: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Credible) represents a 90% highest-density credible interval of a posterior probability distribution.
