What statistical blogs would you recommend?

Question

What statistical research blogs would you recommend, and why?

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](http://www.r-project.org/mail.html) 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 - Reinstate Monica May 29 '12 at 18:27

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

In addition to those already mentioned, I like Rob Hyndman's blog:

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

The Endeavour sometimes features statistics posts. Otherwise it is mostly around the interplay of computer science and math.

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.

simplystatistics.org is rather good. It is run by three biostatistics professors (Jeff Leek, Roger Peng, and Rafa Irizarry).

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.
