#Dendrogram
Finished porting dendrogram guide to {legendry} using the new guide system. For better or worse, this is now possible with a guide + `coord_radial()`:

#rstats #ggplot2

This is one of the most interesting plots I’ve seen in ages. Just look at the professional dendrogram that results from clustering in this way!
Association of polygenic scores for neuropsychiatric traits with self-reported professions based on analysis of 420k individuals from UK Biobank and Million Veteran Program. Look at the 'arts & design' category. Artistic talent comes at a cost--a piece of your mind :)

Hi folks! I know it is the weekend, but I'd like to quickly announance an update to {legendry} version 0.2.0:

Sitting in a cafe while the kid rips through Infinite Dendrogram, so I will take this moment to say that Daggerheart's design is a tremendous act of sleight of hand, and given my opinions on game design, that is *very* high praise.

Diet profile is a crucial and broad survival skill, encompassing know-what, know-how, know-when, and know-where knowledge types. Our results therefore bear significance not just for orangutans, but also for other species with similar knowledge requirements. 7/11

Preprint: a cross-cultural review of knots.

Using archaeo & anthro data, our study reveals the cultural evolution of knots across 10k years and 83 societies. With mathy methods, we show which knots are most common & how they shaped human innovation.

A knotted thread. 🧵🏺

Pleased to see our work published:

The Ties That Bind: Computational, Cross-cultural Analyses of Knots Reveal Their Cultural Evolutionary History and Significance

We analysed knots across 12,000 years and 82 societies.

Time to tie a thread 🧵 about why knots matter.

New feature in SemanticDistance R package -- give it an unordered list of words. It appends a semantic vector to each word, computes cosine distance all word pairs arrayed as square matrix. Converts to Euclidean, finds optimal hclustering solution (k), plots a dendrogram. Does it work? You decide!

Here’s our new preprint:

’A global cross-cultural analysis of string figures reveals evidence of deep transmission and innovation’

String figures have been made by cultures around the world. We develop a new mathematical methodology, allowing cross-cultural comparisons.🏺

NEW stuff for Monday morning! Get your new stuff here! Pandemic risk is going up. Can we bring it back down? Probably not - unless we radically reimagine our relationship with nature, food, and each other. First preprint led by the brilliant @torrelavelle.bsky.social: www.medrxiv.org/content/10.6...

The Kleidocerys Conundrum - Resolved?
I've been bothered about Kleidocerys for a while - specifically, is Kleidocerys ericae a separate species from the familiar Birch Catkin Bug, Kleidocerys resedae?

Clustering D&D spells for #TidyTuesday #Rstats #R4DS

I looked at how spells would cluster based on median values of all other fields *except* school then added color labels for school to see how they lined up. Not a lot of correlation between school and other data. Code via carbon.now.sh

A neural network trained on the archives of the World Values Survey can predict the nationality of a person from their survey answers with nearly 90% accuracy. The study identifies the 60 most predictive answers. In PNAS: academic.oup.com/pnasnexus/ar...

✍️ All poetic forms come from somewhere, but figuring out their relationships is hard.

We use sequence alignment on scansion (010.1.0.1) to measure metrical similarity of poems. This allows us to trace metrical 'lineages' and detect descendant forms.

Personally important preprint & python library!
