Here is link to the COMPARE project, an incredible, though depressing, project designed to check if clinical trials are following their preregistered analysis plans when published. Pre-registration is a great technique to help draw a bright line between planned and…

Draw your own data tool
Sometimes it is nice to be able to make up a set of data to explore. Here is a cool tool that makes it easy to craft your own data set: just draw the data and you will instantly see…
Criminal justice and the perils of regression analysis
Regression analysis is incredible–it can literally help us predict the future based on patterns observed in the past. There are many pitfalls, however, to using regression. First, the correlations observed in the past may not apply to new cases or…

Studying statistical cognition is essential for improving rigor and reproducibility. You can participate! Here's a link to a short study of statistical cognition: https://t.co/EKAAdbkQUN
This study is being conducted by @lonnibesancon and @jouni_helske .

Finally had time to check out @russpoldrack on reproducibility in neuroscience:
“First, we must acknowledge that we have a problem, and that all of our careers have benefitted from the research practices that we now realize to be questionable.”
Amen.

Thanks, Nick! It was great to visit with the MCB grad students and postdocs. Lots of energy for planning strong research.
Went to a phenomenal seminar about sample-size planning by Bob Calin-Jageman @TheNewStats. I have a LOT of work to do in how to plan experiments and determine relevance (not P values!) of results. He would make a great speaker at any department! Check out https://t.co/U5Ztw630a0
New preprint.
Adversarial team collaborated to specify when facial feedback effects should most reliably emerge. 2 pilots revealed evidence for the facial feedback hypothesis. Next, 18 labs (17 countries) will test whether these findings are replicable.

Oh sh-t. Why can't we have nice things?
The study showing handwritten notes are superior to typed notes fails to replicate https://t.co/2RdBOwVh9O
In my first pre-print, working with @lakens we present 2 methods from clinical/health research & show how they can be used in basic psych research to determine the smallest noticeable change/difference & thus the SESOI for research questions interested in noticeable change. 1/2 https://t.co/udPb9UomF1
