comment How exactly does one “control for other variables”?
This is not a complete answer or anything, but I think it's worthwhile to read "Let's Put Garbage-Can Regressions and Garbage-Can Probits Where They Belong" by Chris Achen. (PDF link: http://qssi.psu.edu/files/Achen_GarbageCan.pdf) This applies to both Bayesian and Frequentist approaches equally. Just throwing terms into your set-up is not sufficient to "control" for effects, but sadly this is what passes for control in a lot of the literature.

comment How to compute precision/recall for multiclass-multilabel classification?
It will replenish when they get to that lecture in this year's course. If I could copy the PDF to a permanent link location, I would, but I can't, so it periodically breaking is unavoidable and there won't be any other place to find the notes, they are specific to that course.

comment What are Effective Regression Techniques for Linguistic Analysis of Linked Data?
But in the meantime, instead of waiting for the other site's admins to do that, it's perfectly acceptable to cross post and then just be sure to notify the other site's admins to close the original... or better yet, leave both open so both communities can benefit from a well-asked question at virtually no cost for keeping a second copy of the question open.

Thanks for the reminder; it's just been very busy at work. I will get to it shortly though.

comment Entropy-based refutation of Shalizi's Bayesian backward arrow of time paradox?
Shalizi seems to disagree with you about Landauer's erasure stuff, so perhaps this is the 'pre-debate' required before one can answer this question. I will go through the LessWrong link I put in my last comment and address specific quotes.
