The first scene in Annie Hall is Woody Allen’s character telling the following joke: “There’s an old joke – um… two elderly women are at a Catskill mountain resort, and one of ’em says, “Boy, the food at this place is really terrible.” The other one says, “Yeah, I know; and such small portions.”” I […]
Statistisk usikkerhed med mønster i R
Der er mange måder at visualisere statistisk usikkerhed i R. Jeg har på det seneste leget med funktionen geom_rect_pattern() fra pakken ggpattern til at anvende et bestemt mønster i visualiseringen af statistisk usikkerhed. Konkret har jeg arbejdet med visualisering af meningsmålinger, hvor det som bekendt er godt at vise 95% konfidensintervaller. Her er et eksempel […]

Find den rigtige funktion i R
Jeg har lavet en ny hjemmeside ved navn RStats.dk. Den eneste mulighed hjemmesiden byder på nu er, at finde den rigtige funktion til det, du står og skal lave. Konkret er der en tabel, hvor du kan søge i en beskrivelse og så se hvilken funktion og pakke, du kan bruge til at gøre det. […]
How to improve your figures #12: Make effective interrupted time series graphs
I have read a lot of studies using an interrupted time series design, e.g., studies using the ‘unexpected event during survey design‘. I have noticed that the better studies using an interrupted time series design all provide great visual presentations of the results. There are relatively easy ways to improve the visual presentation of findings […]
Quantifying performance in Counter-Strike: Global Offensive
I sometimes watch Counter-Strike: Global Offensive (CSGO). I am not a fan of a specific team, but I like to watch good Counter-Strike. It is the combination of strategy and fast-paced gameplay that I find great (most likely the same reason I enjoy watching bullet chess). I have recently been interested in how to quantify […]
Idé til bog om folketingsvalg
Her er et forslag til en bog, jeg gerne vil læse (og gerne ville skrive, hvis jeg havde haft tid): En bog der gennemgår hovedtemaer og tendenser ved alle danske folketingsvalg. Her er twistet: Det skal ikke være en kronologisk gennemgang af folketingsvalgene. Tværtimod. Det skal være folketingsvalg introduceret i omvendt kronologisk rækkefølge. Det vil […]
