Mike Frank@mcxfrank.bsky.social · last mo.Most of the statistical tests you learned in stats class — t-test, ANOVA, correlation — are actually special cases of a single thing: linear regression.

Today, I signed an Executive Order temporarily repealing bedtimes in the City of New York so that kids of all ages can watch our team in the NBA Finals. As Mayor, you’re forced to make many difficult decisions. This was not one of them. Go Knicks.
I actually can’t believe the Knicks are in the finals 🥲

what if, rather than approximate answers to the right questions, we got exact answers to the wrong question, made ever more precise, more quickly?
Professors & university staff were targeted & fired for less than this just a few months ago.

The worst part of AEFP is not being able to see all the great work (and great people) that's presented there. Looking forward to next year!
🚨 Hey You! 🚨 Still at #AEFP tomorrow? Come check out my presentation at 11:45 AM in Vevey 2, where I’ll present some extremely hot off the press work on a statewide teacher compensation policy in Texas
I’ve decided I’m running the unofficial #AEFP 2026 Free Pen Competition. Please provide any thoughts below—although I have appointed myself the ultimate arbitrator
The way a lot of the "stop asking schools to fix broader social problems" crowd has backed themselves into "districts should build housing and become landlords" is kind of bananas.
