Dancing with the Stats with Grayson Weavil, Madeline Merrill, and Wesley Krieger
Q: Can you talk more about maybe which ones did you have data for, and which ones do you wish you had had data for?

Dancing with the Stats with Grayson Weavil, Madeline Merrill, and Wesley Krieger
Q: Can you tell us a little bit about what kind of models did you actually use to answer these questions that you have?
They used a Cox proportional hazards model to estimate elimination risk from contestant characteristics, including sex, age, first-week average judges' score, and profession.
Mixed Effects, Mixed Signals: Love Island Kissing Scores with Hannah Barton
Q: How would you quantify the kissy-kisser interaction when you only would have one measure per pair?
Barton says the pairing effect cannot be estimated separately in this dataset because each pair has only one score, so relationship variation remains combined with error.
Mixed Effects, Mixed Signals: Love Island Kissing Scores with Hannah Barton
Q: Can you explain to us what dyadic interactions are in general?
Barton describes a dyadic interaction as an exchange between two people, where each participant affects the interaction, rather than one person acting independently.

Q: Yes, tell us, how do you get a GitHub action to push notifications to your phone for free?
