Pat pat

This is probably akin to an exercise in self-pleasing, but I’ll indulge in this anyway to celebrate the fact that our paper on the Bias in the Eurovision song contest voting (the last in a relatively long series of posts on this is here) has now over 4,000 “article views”.

The Journal of Applied Statistics website defines these as: “Article usage statistics combine cumulative total PDF downloads and full-text HTML views from publication date [23 Apr 2014, in our case]_ to 23 Jul 2014. Article views are only counted from this site._”

In case you’re wondering, neither Marta nor I have actually downloaded the paper to boost the numbers!
