# What statistical blogs would you recommend?

What research level statistical blogs are there?

I added the blogs in the question as answers to allow proper voting to find the most popular blogs. –  Christian Jul 20 '10 at 16:13

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

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

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

are there any sas related good blogs as well ? –  ayush biyani May 12 '11 at 9:07

We're looking for long answers that provide some explanation and context. Don't just give a one-line answer; explain why your answer is right, ideally with citations. Answers that don't include explanations may be removed.

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.
