http://www.r-bloggers.com/ is an aggregated blog from lots of blogs that talk about statistics using R, and the #rstats hashtag on twitter is also helpful. I write quite a bit about statistics and R in genetics research.

+1, also for the purpose of learning new statistical tricks (& generally keeping up w/ what's going on) w/ R, you should consider signing up for the R-help (& possibly other) mailing lists as well. Your in-box will be spammed w/ 100 posts a day, but they can easily be ignored & you can just take in a quick note about topics that interest you w/o undue hassle. This will go part way towards covering the needs that r-bloggers serves. – gung May 29 '12 at 18:27

The Endeavour sometimes features statistics posts. Otherwise it is mostly around the interplay of computer science and math.

Statistical Modeling, Causal Inference, and Social Science from Andrew Gelman is a good blog.

These were both listed in the original question... – Shane Jul 20 '10 at 16:12

By that reasoning another question which asks for the best blogs but lists other blogs in the starting question wouldn't be a duplicate of the question. I think it makes sense to vote on all blogs to find out which are most popular including those already listed in the OP. – Christian Jul 20 '10 at 16:22

In addition to those already mentioned, I like Rob Hyndman's blog:

I guess he's too modest to mention it himself! ;-)

We're looking for long answers that provide some explanation and context. Don't just give a one-line answer: please explain why you're recommending it as a solution. Answers that don't explain anything will be deleted. See Good Subjective, Bad Subjective for more information.

Cosma Shalizi's blog, often talks about statistics, and is always interesting.

It doesn't have an RSS feed though :( – csgillespie Jul 19 '10 at 21:11
@Rich - Thanks. I wonder why FF didn't pick it up? – csgillespie Jul 19 '10 at 21:34

@Colin: The author of the blog would need to put <link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="RSS" href="http://cscs.umich.edu/~crshalizi/weblog/index.rss" /> in his the <head> section of the HTML document for Firefox to pick it up automatically :) – Daniel Vassallo Jul 19 '10 at 21:42

I like Dave Giles' blog Econometrics Beat It has a time series focus, but lots of other interesting things as well. Here's a nice post on the Pythagorean means.

Luckily now you don't have to spend too much effort finding good blogs. Stats Blogs is a relatively new aggregator which compiles a collection of blogs focused on statistics. A lot of the blogs mentioned are aggregated there.

simplystatistics.org is rather good. It is run by three biostatistics professors (Jeff Leek, Roger Peng, and Rafa Irizarry).
