        Don't think they even looked at the dataset. It wasn't released publicly until recently. @pseudoerasmus

        Oh hey I made some more graphs with binomial smoothing, an animated bootstrap, and Bayesian multilevel time-series: https://www.gwern.net/Statistical%20notes#proportion-of-important-thinkers-by-global-region-over-time-in-charles-murrays-human-accomplishment …pic.twitter.com/cJmeMQKyJ4

        Also, you complain about how much of a pain it is to write JAGS models. Maybe check out brms, fairly powerful: https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/brms/vignettes/brms_multilevel.pdf …

        I think the gains of using Bayesian models are usually ~zero, and the price in time is >0, often large. But I'll have a look again.

        Of course your tweet got blowback- no clear conclusion & an easy insinuation. With context, better tweet. @charlesmurray
