Deeply sad to report that the wonderful human being and philosopher Professor Bob Stern died peacefully yesterday after a long illness which he faced with utter fortitude. Here he is in March at an event in his honour at Sheffield. We will miss him terribly. His legacy is immense

@StefanoCoretta Are you using fenced divs in a quarto markdown document? Indentation went totally haywire for me recently. It looks like it will be fixed in the next version of RStudio (there's a few GitHub issues about it if you're interested)

@SidneyGJWong Sometimes, when I look out the lounge window at night, your face appears on the horizon like a rising sun (I can see the top of the electronic billboard on the corner of Linwood Ave and Aldwins Rd).

@Helenreflects I believe in the Sheffield case the council's agreement with the contractor would have been very expensive to cancel (I was a student there at the time). This is not a defense of the council, but might explain their tenacity.

@MCHLinguistics ...is what you are after with the fa function. Let me know if I'm misinterpreting you!

@MCHLinguistics As I say, I've not used factor analysis and rotations much myself, but this is what I was imagining you'd get. With PCA, we just use the scores assigned to each speaker for each PC as our new variables. With the base R function prcomp, you get these from $x. Looks like $scores

I have once again tried to do some principal component analysis in R, despite my limited maths, and am appealing for help in interpreting what I have.
This is for a matched guise study with 4 conditions. Each participant saw 2 conditions, order and distribution fully random.

@MCHLinguistics Also: sometimes small loadings are still significant. Maybe the patterning of formal with knowledgable etc and against outgoing etc in PC2 is signal of something to explore? (8/8)

Many thanks to @aGeoffFord amongst others for help with this.

Bonus: here's one of my great-great-grandfathers trying to convince the local branch of the @royalsocietynz (well, the Canterbury Philosophical Society), that he'd found moa prints in North Canterbury. Turns out they were left by a wallaby.

If you've ever wanted to wade in to OCR-generated digitised historical newspaper data, my new paper in @DSHjournal and the associated code may be useful to you. academic.oup.com/dsh/advance-ar…
