Optimal Adjustment Sets for Nonparametric Estimation of Weighted Controlled Direct Effect
The weighted controlled direct effect (WCDE) generalizes the standard controlled direct effect (CDE) by averaging over the mediator distribution, providing a robust estimate when treatment effects vary across mediator levels. This makes the WCDE especially relevant in fairness analysis, where it isolates the direct effect of an exposure on an outcome, independent of mediating pathways. This work establishes three fundamental advances for WCDE in observational studies: First, we establish necess…

Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wisconsin, is doubling down on his concerns about a bill that would make sweeping changes to taxes, Medicaid, food stamps and more
after it was passed last month in the Republican-led House at the urging of President Donald Trump.
It's completely unsustainable," Johnson said in an interview on Fox's "Sunday Morning Futures."
The bill is expected to add somewhere around $3 trillion to the deficit over the next 10 years and swell the…

Ran a 10k on Sunday in Wisconsin (solo #trailrunning). Two more times at lunch during the office this week. The weather has been great, getting hotter, it will probably be a brutal one for heat this summer! #running

Web graphs crawled from four Computer Science departments in 1998, with each page manually classified into one of 7 categories: course, department, faculty, project, staff, student, or other. All graphs included in a single .zip; also included are 'co-citation' graphs, which links i and j if they both point to some k. Edge weights count the number of links from i to j.

#UWM is facing calls to cut 5-10% of expenses immediately while both international enrollment and grant-funded research are plummeting. Tuition has been frozen and the state has been cutting back what they contribute to the UW system since the Walker years. There isn't any "low-hanging fruit" left. This is inevitable.

Earlier this year, Elon Musk poured tens of millions of dollars into the Wisconsin Supreme Court election, after spending hundreds of millions to elect Donald Trump.
It looked like our democracy was truly over. 
But Blue Future's young organizers pounded the pavement.
We out-organized Musk.
And we defeated his MAGA candidate on a shoestring budget!
Now, Trump has lost confidence in Musk, who's slinking away from the White House!
What's next? …

I just gave to Blue Future!
