I have a permanent GIF (Good Idea Fairy) constantly in my head sometimes. Right now it wants me to find a dataset to model education and income to determine party affiliation... but I know I would need even more independent variables.. and then the cycle restarts. I think learning statistics and economic models opened pandora's box for me. /rant

@GingerCaseus
Modeling economic recovery predictors? Asking for UI. If so what data sources?

@damselfly59 i would probably have to accumulate data from the GSS gssdataexplorer.norc.org/
Or skimm through github

@GingerCaseus
Wow thanks, I had no idea this data was so accessible. Crazy amount of possibilities for use. You've destroyed my spare time for a month. Thanks!
Any ah ha moments you've mined?

@damselfly59 not with any GSS data. It has a shit-ton of variables and i was trying to find something for a class project. I did a linear regression on mask mandates, ICU bed hospitalization, and infection rates of covid19. It wasn't anything ground breaking.. other than mask mandates helped greatly.

@GingerCaseus
Validating your instincts isn't always nothing :).
I came across an article about 5 roommates who are modeling their risk factors to survive covid. Was all the basics but quantified and rolled together made a powerful tool.
Are you using any GIS tools yet?

@damselfly59 I did in the military. ArcGIS, Palantir, and Google Earth. I needed to create more interaction variables to see if the p-values were within standard values. I just did a straight regression.

@GingerCaseus
GE and ArcGIS are my comfort zone. Haven't tried Palantir.
All data is locationally relevant in my world:).

@damselfly59 Europe has the same thing but it's link is dead but here is another repository I skimmed through and will have to for this semester.
