Because The Nxivm Sex Cult Case Wasn't Wild Enough, Michael Avenatti Got Involved

Because The Nxivm Sex Cult Case Wasn't Wild Enough, Michael Avenatti Got Involved In a plot twist absolutely no one needed, Michael Avenatti wormed his way into the Nxivm sex cult case on Wednesday, apparently having attempted to insert himself onto Clare Bronfman's defense team. Bronfman, of course, is the Seagrams liquor heiress accused of bankrolling the fraudulent "self-help" group; Avenatti, as you're doubtless aware, is the former Stormy Daniels attorney accused of attempting to extort upwards of $20 million from Nike.

Using RStudio and LaTeX

(This article was first published on r – Experimental Behaviour , and kindly contributed to R-bloggers) This post will explain how to integrate RStudio and LaTeX, especially the inclusion of well-formatted tables and nice-looking graphs and figures produced in RStudio and imported to LaTeX. To follow along you will need RStudio, MS Excel and LaTeX. Using tikzdevice to insert R Graphs into LaTeX I am a very visual thinker. If I want to understand a concept I usually and subconsciously try to visualise it. Therefore, more my PhD I tried to transport a lot of empirical insights by means of  visualization . These range from histograms, or violin plots to show distributions, over bargraphs including error bars to compare means, to interaction- or conditional effects of regression models. For quite a while it was very tedious to include such graphs in LaTeX documents. I tried several ways, like saving them as pdf and then including them in LaTeX as pdf, or any other file ...

Explaining models with triplot, part 1 tl;dr Explaining black box models built on correlated features may prove difficult and provide misleading results. R package triplot , part of the DrWhy.AI project, is aiming at facilitating the process of explaining the importance of the whole group of variables, thus solving the problem of correlated features. Calculating the importance of explanatory variables is one of the main tasks of explainable artificial intelligence (XAI). There are a lot of tools at our disposal that helps us with that, like Feature Importance or Shapley values, to name a few. All these methods calculate individual feature importance for each variable separately. The problem arises when features used ...
