This post is the third in a (somewhat interrupted) series on population issues in the Pacific, re-generating the charts I used in a keynote speech before the November 2025 meeting of the Pacific Heads of Planning and Statistics in Wellington, New Zeala...

Factorial experiments are very common in agriculture and they are usually laid down to test for the significance of interactions between experimental factors. For example, genotype assessments may be performed at two different nitrogen fertilisation...

Example of use of Python package survivalist, for model-agnostic survival analysis

I am excited to introduce a new R package called flownet providing high-performance tools for transport modeling—network processing, route enumeration, and traffic assignment in R. As of now, the package implements the Path-Sized Logit (PSL) model (Ben-Akiva and Bierlaire, 1999)—a powerful and well-established method for stochastic traffic assignment accounting ...
