Very excited to offer this machine learning workshop for @StatHorizons! Please feel free to dm or email with any questions.
Join @brucedesmarais for Machine Learning Dec. 14-16 to learn how machine learning can be used to uncover valuable insights, identify optimal model structures, perform variable selection, and deliver highly accurate predictions from data.

Thanks to everyone at @umisrcps for the invitation to speak, the excellent feedback, and energizing meetings! I presented joint work with PSU PhD student Rebekah Fyfe on new methods for inferring and adjusting for networks though which units depend in panel regression.

@arthur_spirling Agree on the mix with this. Our dual-title in Social Data Analytics requires two outside courses. Helps to have faculty and students in the home program vouch for specific outside courses and faculty. Our soc sci students regularly take the same few CS/stats/informatics courses.

Excited to see this out! @TaiYuehong was a superb leader on this project. It is the first article I've collaborated on in which the objectives were purely descriptive. The editor and reviewers at @JITP_APSA were great to work with.
What's the misinformation prevalence in US state legislators' tweets? 🤔 Our study w/ @Roanbuma and @brucedesmarais, published in @JITP_APSA, finds a striking pattern: Republicans share 20 times more misinfo than do Democrats. Find out more in our paper!

Excited to see this out! We’re currently working on an #rstats package to implement the methods, and should be able to share that soon.
#Vol11Iss3 | @clearingkimsy, @haoliuhoward, and @brucedesmarais offer a new methodological approach to capture the dynamic nature of political actors in a given space and to account for interaction between moving actors. Research note in #OpenAccess:
