Modeling loss aversion with extended-support beta regression
news
The recently-proposed extended-support beta regression model in R package betareg is illustrated by simultaneously modeling the occurrence and extent of loss aversion in a behavioral economics experiment. Read more ›
Extended-support beta regression for [0, 1] responses
news
New arXiv working paper introducing extended-support beta regression models which can capture probabilities for boundary observations at 0 and/or 1. It is available in the latest R package betareg, also accompanied by a new altdoc web page. Read more ›
Subgroup detection in linear growth curve models
news
New arXiv working paper showing how generalized linear mixed effects model (GLMM) trees, along with their R implementation in the glmertree package, can be used to identify subgroups with differently shaped trajectories in linear growth curve models. Read more ›
Tree models for assessing covariate-dependent method agreement
news
New arXiv working paper introducing conditional method agreement trees (COAT) which can capture the dependency of a Bland-Altman analysis on covariates. It is ccompanied by an R implementation in the CRAN package coat. Read more ›
Amplification of Lightning in the European Alps 1980-2019
news
Detailed measurements of lightning as well as reanalyses of atmospheric conditions enable the reconstruction of lightning probabilities over large spatial and temporal domains. Using flexible additive regression models it is shown that lightning activity in the high European Alps has doubled from the 1980s to the 2010s. Read more ›
Model-based causal forests for heterogeneous treatment effects
news
A new arXiv paper investigates which building blocks of random forests, especially causal forests and model-based forests, make them work for heterogeneous treatment effect estimation, both in randomized trials and observational studies. Read more ›

The Poisson distribution: From basic probability theory to regression models
news
Brief introduction to the Poisson distribution for modeling count data using the distributions3 package. The distribution is illustrated using the number of goals scored at the 2018 FIFA World Cup, suitable for self-study or as a classroom exercise. Read more ›
ivreg: Two-stage least-squares regression with diagnostics
news
The ivreg function for instrumental variables regression had first been introduced in the AER package but is now developed and extended in its own package of the same name. This post provides a short overview and illustration. Read more ›
