Just came across the revised version of the @GeoDaCenter docs: Introduction to Spatial Data Science with GeoDa (by Luc Anselin)! From CRC Press: taylorfrancis.com/chapters/mono/… As always, there’s an open source version: 🔗 lanselin.github.io/introbook_vol1/ 🔗 lanselin.github.io/introbook_vol2/ #gischat

New working paper on the emerging use of AI among online survey participants: Focusing on open-ended Qs, we study how often and why survey-takers use AI. We also compare human vs LLM written answers to sensitive questions. 🔗: osf.io/preprints/soca…

Bittersweet part about graduating is I don't get to organize fun R events with @CivicAngela anymore :( But for @Princeton grad students, especially those in @PrincetonSPIA check out the R group website to see past materials and upcoming events! princeton-r-group.github.io

It's release day for the 2023 @uscensusbureau 1-year American Community Survey data! tidycensus users in #rstats users can get the data *right now* with the arguments `survey = "acs1"` and `year = 2023`; it *just works*, there is nothing new to install! walker-data.com/tidycensus

NEW POSTDOC AT @nyuniversity @nyu_ipk Cities, Communities, and Social Infrastructure. Open to applicants with PhDs in the social sciences, humanities, public policy, and design fields. We're reviewing applications now. Please share. @ASAnews apply.interfolio.com/153600

Just received the final proofs of my forthcoming article on desegregation and racial attitudes/politics. Timing is incredible, with the 70th anniversary of the Brown v. Board decision happening this week! Find it as a pre-print here: direct.mit.edu/edfp/article/d…

A new method for using individual-level race probabilities to estimate differences in outcomes by race, from Cory McCartan, Robin Fisher, @jacobsgoldin, Daniel E. Ho, and Kosuke Imai nber.org/papers/w32373

I’m looking forward to using this as a teaching resource for undergrad RAs, and as a text for teaching spatial methods to an interdisciplinary audience. Perfect timing for summer projects 🙏

For the next half-century, that word—“ protection”—would define the governing philosophy of Southlake and suburban communities like it across America. Years later, it would be enshrined in the Carroll school district’s official motto: “Protect the Tradition.”

Our article on racial coalitions is published with page numbers (and open access). We improved existing MRP models to estimate voteshares by race and by district (/thread) and thanks to @dailykos for the perfect cartograms

I've used Quarto/LaTeX to write my last couple of solo papers but those were short and light. Doing a longer one and dang it's nice.

Day 29 of #30DayMapChallenge is Population, so naturally I'll turn to tidycensus and #rstats for the data! This map shows population change (%) by county between 2021 and 2022, with data taken from the @uscensusbureau Population Estimates This data isn't on the Census API any longer, but you can still get it with tidycensus! To reproduce for yourselves, check out the code here: github.com/walkerke/map-c… One day left of the challenge!

As always, put together with my fabulous co-organizer and @PrincetonDDSS Fellow @KimberlyKreiss!

Thanks @arthur_spirling for speaking at today’s tigeRs #rstats event about embedding regression! Folks from 7 depts came to learn abt computational, model-based ways to explore meaning in text over time. Sponsored by @PrincetonDDSS. Github + coauthors: github.com/prodriguezsosa…

Understanding change in gun sales over time informs how we think about what’s happened today, and too many times in our recent history. My heart goes out to those affected by today’s tragedy 💔

New source of data informing historical gun sales at the state level from my colleague @kang_megan! It’s the best thing researchers have on this hard-to-track measure. Cleaning + publishing this data is a huge lift! Check out the data and methods👇

@kang_megan @AmJPrevMed Congrats Megan! Important work - thank you all for putting together this data for future researchers 👏

Our paper on extending the firearm suicide proxy for US household gun ownership rates (at the state-level from 1949-2020) came out this week in @AmJPrevMed! Methods paper: shorturl.at/FSY02 Data paper: shorturl.at/dEG05 Data: shorturl.at/nxGR6

Second tigeRs meetup done! Thanks to @zbleemer for presenting methods to digitize historical ed records w #rstats. 38 folks from Soc, Econ, Pub Pol, Demog, Psych, Ed, Libraries. 📌 Zach’s code: zacharybleemer.com/software Sponsored by @PrincetonDDSS + coorganized w @KimberlyKreiss!

ICYMI: Urban/Housing PPL 📣 The FHFA has a new tract-level repeat-sales housing price index (1989-2021) with >65,000 tracts using data from Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, CoreLogic county recorder files, and FHA mortgages fhfa.gov/PolicyPrograms…

@sainvalw @Princeton @shamuskhan So great to cross paths during your time here. Stay in touch and best of luck with the dissertation work!

Grateful and honored to mark the end of an enriching journey as a visiting PhD student @Princeton. Immense gratitude to @shamuskhan for being an exceptional mentor. Reflecting on the growth, learning, and community that shaped this experience. Excited for what the future holds!
