Some words go together like jelly and peanut butter… wait, that sounds super weird.
A pair of words that is used in a fixed order in an idiomatic expression is called an ‘irreversible binomial.’
‘Peanut butter and jelly’ is an example of an irreversible binomial.

Back in 2018 I needed a custom poisson-binomial log-prob for Stan, so I wrote a clunky one, and then Bob I think wrote a more efficient one. Today poisson-binomial is built into the math library. For all your unusual mixture needs. (My use was for weird survey data)

Given the #Rstats base vs tidy wars have been reignited, I want to create a new front for #statsky: poisson vs. negative binomial regression.
I firmly believe you should almost never use NB. My reasoning: stats.stackexchange.com/a/653731/116...
And always use a robust/bootstrap SE with poisson!

When to use negative binomial and Poisson regression
When would one use a negative binomial regression and when would one use Poisson regression with respect to the mean and variance?

Infernodrakon’s roommate has a new binomial
An interesting quirk of today's taxonomic revision is that one jacket from the Jane Quarry, long assumed to contain specimens of famous species, actually contained what would become two holotypes of two distinct species — Infernodrakon hastacollis and Nanotyrannus lethaeus

Macho de VERDERÓN COMÚN /Chloris chloris/ mirándonos de reojo.
Khlorós en griego significaría algo así como verde claro, de ahí la "insistencia" en su nombre binomial. ⤵️

This is not a more complicated story, it's statistical noise. Under a binomial sampling model, this is a drop of less than one standard deviation given the size of the organization.
📉The @who.int says it has achieved gender parity — but new HR data tells a more complicated story. Women fell from 50.1% to 49.7% of staff in 2025, even as they gained ground in professional ranks.

A sobering empirical piece in JAMA.
Homicide has long been THE LEADING CAUSE of maternal/peripartum death.
Here they show:
* restrictions on divorce
* restrictions on abortion…
both correlate with pregnancy homicide (albeit differently, depending on age/race) 🛟🩺

As far as I know, these are all the equations between binomial coefficients that don't follow from a few well-understood infinite patterns.
In 1997, de Weger conjectured there are no more!

Some even have obsolete words that you really only find in an irreversible binomial.

- spick and span
- aid and abet
Oh, not all irreversible binomials use ‘and.’
- better or worse
- win or lose
- sink or swim
- now or never
