Good Local Posts
- Xiaozhen Xue wrote a neat piece on changepoint analysis in time-series data
- Johan Edvinsson is back with a piece using neural nets to detect handbags
- Andrew Gelman wrote a follow-up to a previous piece on 'hot hands' and biased estimates: the post in the first link is worth understanding if you work with pathing or analysis with starting points you set
Miscellany
- I am excited about this new geo-transformation library hexmapr!
