On the right, the 7-day COVID-19 incidence per 100,000 people is shown by administrative region (Landkreis) as of 18.12.2020. Note that Wahlkreise and Landkreise are generally similar but do differ on many occasions. https://www.manuelrademaker.com/blog/tidy_tuesday/2021-07-20_us_droughts/ Fri, 23 Jul 2021 00:00:00 +0000 https://www.manuelrademaker.com/blog/tidy_tuesday/2021-07-20_us_droughts/ Description The data this week comes from the U.S. Drought Monitor.

However, different professional backgrounds and hierarchy levels tend to have different ideas and expectations regarding the meaning of these terms. In this blog post, I want to give my personal view on one of these terms, namely the term data science and its professional equivalent the data scientist. https://www.manuelrademaker.com/project/dissertation/ Sat, 01 May 2021 00:00:00 +0000 https://www.manuelrademaker.com/project/dissertation/ https://www.manuelrademaker.com/contact/ Sat, 01 May 2021 00:00:00 +0000 https://www.manuelrademaker.com/contact/ ** Contact page don’t contain a body, just the front matter above.

Initially, my wife and I were the hosts. In subsequent rounds the winning team of the last quiz would have the honor (or burden?) of being the new hosts. So one team prepares questions from varying categories, poses them via Zoom, and the others answer by sending their answers via Telegram to the host team. To collect and sort the Telegram answers from each team one of the host team members had to manually copy-paste these in an Excel file for evaluation – not a particularly effective process. https://www.manuelrademaker.com/project/csem/ Sat, 24 Apr 2021 00:00:00 +0000 https://www.manuelrademaker.com/project/csem/ cSEM allows users to estimate, analyze, test, and study linear, nonlinear, hierarchical and multi-group structural equation models using composite-based approaches and procedures. The focus is one usability and, hence, extremely easy to use. See the project website, the GitHub repository and Chapter 5 of my dissertation for details. https://www.manuelrademaker.com/license/ Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000 https://www.manuelrademaker.com/license/ My blog posts are released under a Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International License.
