Introduction: Oof! (if you’ll forgive my reference to bowling) What’s funny to me, though, is the phrase, “she’s not nearly as smart as she seems to think she is.” I mean, doesn’t that describe most people? (Link from here .) P.S. I hate to spell things out, Jeff, but . . . I hope you caught the Douglas Ginsburg reference!

Introduction: The Browser asked me to recommend 6 articles for their readers. Here’s what I came up with. I really wanted to link to this one but it wouldn’t mean much to people who don’t know New York. I also recommended this (if you’ll forgive my reference to bowling), but I think it was too much of a primary source for their taste.
Introduction: Oof!

Introduction: Siobhan Mattison pointed me to this . I’m just disappointed they didn’t use my Fenimore Cooper line. Although I guess that reference wouldn’t resonate much outside the U.S. P.S. My guess was correct See comments below. Actually, the reference probably wouldn’t resonate so well among under-50-year-olds in the U.S. either. Sort of like the Jaycees story.

Introduction: Douglas Anderton informed us that, in a Linux system, you can’t call OpenBugs from R using bugs() from the R2Winbugs package. Instead, you should call Jags using jags() from the R2jags package. P.S. Not the Rotter’s Club guy.

Introduction: I wouldn’t go that far, but I’ll send along this article by Ahti-Veikko Pietarinen that was sent to me by Lee Sechrest. Those of you who like this sort of thing might like this sort of thing. I neither endorse nor anti-endorse. Or, I should say, I am in sympathy with the author’s general attitude but I have not looked at any of the details.

5 0.80137926 1784 andrew gelman stats-2013-04-01-Wolfram on Mandelbrot
Introduction: The most perfect pairing of author and subject since Nicholson Baker and John Updike. Here’s Wolfram on the great researcher of fractals : In his way, Mandelbrot paid me some great compliments. When I was in my 20s, and he in his 60s, he would ask about my scientific work: “How can so many people take someone so young so seriously?” In 2002, my book “A New Kind of Science”—in which I argued that many phenomena across science are the complex results of relatively simple, program-like rules—appeared. Mandelbrot seemed to see it as a direct threat, once declaring that “Wolfram’s ‘science’ is not new except when it is clearly wrong; it deserves to be completely disregarded.” In private, though, several mutual friends told me, he fretted that in the long view of history it would overwhelm his work. In retrospect, I don’t think Mandelbrot had much to worry about on this account. The link from the above review came from Peter Woit, who also points to a review by Brian Hayes wit
