In response to requests from my students, I’ve built out comprehensive glossaries for my #MachineLearning and #DataAnalytics courses. It took a lot of work, but I’m absolutely stoked to share these as free resources in my open-access e-books. 📘 Data Analytics and Geostatistics Glossary 🔗 geostatsguy.github.io/GeostatsPyDemo… 🤖 Machine Learning Glossary 🔗 geostatsguy.github.io/MachineLearnin… I hope these glossaries help students and practitioners alike navigate key concepts more easily. Feedback is always welcome!

@EmmaFisher1 Congratulations!!!

@kirstenelins Again, examining chronic pain within the context of kratom research appears to be critical. I hope we can pursue this research soon with KEMA 2.0!

Academics are paid nothing for peer review. Yet journals made a total of over $8.3 billion on article processing charges alone between 2019-2023. Make it make sense.

Now in Pain Reports: “Assessing alexithymia in chronic pain: psychometric properties of the Toronto Alexithymia Scale-20 and Perth Alexithymia Questionnaire” bit.ly/4gdw4LC
