In the social sciences we talk a lot about groups being different from one another. We might also talk about things like spending on certain programs going up or down over time.

I previously wrote about a project in which I was attempting to figure out how to build a probability density function for a hurdle log-normal model. Ultimately I kind of left this topic hanging because I wasn’t really sure that the solution I had settled on was correct.

Thoughts on switching from Stata to R

As a part of a larger project I’ve been working with BRMS and some models and family functions that are new to me. In particular, my work on troop deployments has made me think more about hurdle models.

Life is hectic and I don’t really have much to add right now, but maybe later I’ll blog about troops stuff, partisanship and multilateralism, my adventures in multilevel modeling or stuff about learning Bayesian stats.
