I love Python but i would never use it for data analysis. The UI (including command syntax) of Stata is superior. UI is important, especially for new users. Which is why we’re building a Stata-like data package in Julia: codedthinking.github.io/Kezdi.jl/stabl…
Glenn Magerman@GlennMagerman

Great advice! I do disagree with finding no use case for e.g. Stata: Stata still vastly outperforms Python & Julia for most regression-based analysis.

@BHarrap much quicker on the M1 etc chips in my limited experience. @MattCowgill forcibly had to switch from Mac to Windows recently so might have a better idea

Sports betting legalization reduces net investments of households by nearly 14% overall. $1 of sports betting reduces net investment by over $2, increases credit card debt, but has no effect on participation in lotteries or other online gambling outlets. papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cf…

All listed AFL players can be plotted, with their models scaled by height, to view entire team lists and their reported injuries.

What could a visual illustration of #AFL injury lists🩹look like? Of the 161 current injured players (19.9%), injuries most commonly occur in the thighs (hamstring and quad), ankles, knees and brains.

I made this map in R using cowplot, basically manually positioning everything (the insets and the lines). Is there any package out there that has automated this a bit? This took HOURS to get right (and I could honestly spend longer).

What if the MCG was a golf course?⛳ 87% of goals from uninterrupted kick-in chains are converted within 10 strokes; the AFL avg is 8 strokes.

The pace of innovation in data science is astounding (and I'm not talking about AI!) 2 years ago, I wrote in my book about analyzing a 92 million row @ipums CSV file using a database in #rstats Now: just point `arrow::open_dataset()` at it and ` collect()` what you need!

What would Australia look like as a geographically accurate #Catan board? Thanks to satellite imaging and #rstats we are able to create 'CATANberra' - see how below 🧵
