To clarify a question I've been getting: sending a CV with your nomination is sufficient, no need to send a nominating letter!

New article out (w Marcel R, Ben N, and David S) in @pnas.org. We show that young folks who signal interest in becoming cops hold more conservative views on race, multiculturalism, gender, and sexuality, etc.than their peers intending careers in other fields www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

A few weeks ago I shared a new WP on doing ecological inference—learning individual relationships from aggregate data, such as vote choice by race from precinct data. Excited now to introduce `seine`, our open-source R package for doing EI easily and efficiently! corymccartan.com/seine/

seine: Semiparametric Ecological Inference Ecological inference (EI) is the statistical problem of learning individual-level associations from aggregate-level data. Without certain identifying assumptions and proper estimation methods, researchers can easily draw incorrect conclusions from aggregate data, finding patterns where none exist, missing important individual-level patterns, or even concluding an effect runs in the opposite direction than it actually does. This is known as the ecological fallacy. The seine package allows researchers to perform modern ecological inference quickly, accurately, and transparently. Double/debiased machine learning allows for controlling for confounding covariates, which increases the plausibility of identifying assumptions. Machine learning can be used to estimate the key regression model and avoid strong parametric assumptions made by existing EI methods. Sensitivity analysis and benchmarking let researchers understand how violations of their assumptions will affect results. A tidy interface makes the package modular and easy to use, and works well with pipe-based workflows. Minimal dependencies and efficient estimation routines keep everything fast and lightweight.

If you haven't gotten around to it, please call your state Senator today and urge them to vote yes on SB 79. This could be transformative for California if it passes and should've been passed back in 2018 when it was first brought up. Don't let the segregationists keep you poor any longer.

It's do or die for SB 79, the bill that would legalize multifamily housing around rail and BRT stops across the state. The vote could be held as early as tomorrow morning. Californians: call your state senator tomorrow morning to help us get out of the senate! cayimby.org/legislation/...

I see a lot of confusion about what it means for Republicans to "own" immigration. Does this mean increasing immigration salience helps Rs on average? Yes. But does that mean anything Rs do on immigration is popular? Absolutely not. Folks should remember: issue ownership can be lost.
