Thanks. For now, the best way to deal with confounds and interactions is to run an analysis a couple times, filtering for a third variable in various ways to see how that affects the analysis. Obviously it'd also be nice to also have m

Yeah, sorry, just looking at this now. These are all represented in the raw data as "10,000" and "5,000", etc., as though they were actual numbers; they should actually be ranges, though, as indicated by that post. Thank

Hey, can you shoot me an email at contact @ statwing? I'd love to hop on a screenshare for 10 minutes. Agreed that the gigantic help screen thing upon close is dumb. But a couple of the things you mention sound more like browser-relate

Ha. We apologize. Oversight on our part, we're normally more loyal to our good friend cynicism. For what it's worth, this demo is a bit less fun than typical because all the data is categorical (i.e., almost all of it stems from m

I think he's referencing "Lifestyle diseases" or "Diseases of civilization", like diabetes and heart disease, which appear to be quite rare in tribal settings (and not just because people die first of other things),

So, this dataset isn't broken down by state (just region), but it looks at what religion Americans say they have (including "None"), how that has changed over time since 1972, and how that differs by region: https:/&#x2

My brother works in Hollywood, and would make the distinction that while musicians can make money on tour and with merch, movies basically only make money from selling the right to watch the thing. I'd like to justify pirating movies,

Nope. Folks who sign up for the API generally have some awareness of what size files work and what don't. And since they're uploading for their users, we're aligned around wanting those users to have a good experience. We hav

Yeah, agreed. We do actually handle xls files in our main product (this is sort of a demo of an API connection). Probably should have enabled that for this little implementation. Can't yet take gz/zip files, probably should though

Things will definitely start slowing down pretty linearly after 100k lines, but we often see millions, and most files shouldn't break us as long as they're not over ~500MB. Edit: Fleshed out explanation

Pretty sure that's because I didn't have that setting on before your first submission, as I'm not able to do multiple submissions. Either way, we'll watch out in the results for suspicious behavior. Thanks for bringing t
