bed of frogs, germany, 15th century
a medieval drawing of a bed with a red bedspread on it, on top of which sit five frogs. two men stand over the bed, one of whom is wearing a crown and raising a stick in his hand, and the other of whom is standing behind that man with his arms wrapped around him in what we can only assume is a loving embrace. they wear bemused expressions on their faces.

Is it possible to efficiently identify the optimal intervention while remaining agnostic to assumptions about the causal structure? In new work with Linbo Wang and @roydanroy, we study adapting to the presence of a d-separator using multi-armed bandits. arxiv.org/abs/2202.05100

We are deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Sir David Cox. As well as his immense contributions to statistical research, he'll be remembered as a boundlessly generous and supportive friend to generations of statisticians. rss.org.uk/news-publication/…

I used to teach this finding to my MBA students. It has more than 400 citations on Google Scholar. It's about dishonesty. Turns out it's fraudulent. "Evidence of Fraud in an Influential Field Experiment About Dishonesty" datacolada.org/98
