#DataScience question. Does anyone know of a method to make some type of linear regression with time-varying coefficients? Is there some Bayesian (or other) method where last year's coefficient for a variable is the mean of this year's prior? #rstats #Python #stan #Bayesian

I've made this cheat sheet and I think it's important. Most stats 101 tests are simple linear models - including "non-parametric" tests. It's so simple we should only teach regression. Avoid confusing students with a zoo of named tests. lindeloev.github.io/tests-as… 1/n

Common statistical tests are linear models (or: how to teach stats)
