How to use these notebooks

Each vignette starts from one question, identifies the methodological insight, and finishes with a worked example. Read the narrative first, then run the code from top to bottom. Change one assumption at a time and check which result changes.

The site displays saved notebook outputs. Each GitHub Pages build also runs the notebooks in a clean Pixi environment before publishing them.
