One of the great things about working in statistics is that you can play in other people’s backyards. After all, just about every scientific discipline uses statistics. So I enjoyed giving an invited talk at the recent annual conference of…
Introduction to the New Statistics

Month: November 2016
Toward cumulative science– the curate science database
One of the themes of the New Statistics is the importance of constantly synthesizing research results. Putting results together is a form of cumulative science, it helps us weigh all the evidence, provides more precise estimates of effect sizes, and…
“Corrupt research” – Quite a book title
I’ve just finished reading a great book: Hubbard, R. (2015). Corrupt research. Sage. I’ve just given it a five-star review on Amazon. In brief, Hubbard is highly–as in extremely highly–critical of the conventional ‘significant difference’ paradigm, centred on finding p…
What Pierre says, from Paris
Pierre Dragicevic (that’s his pic of a scary die!) is a super-interesting and enthusiastic researcher in HCI (Human-Computer Interaction) based at the Université Paris-Sud, an hour or so south of Paris. He is a researcher in the AVIZ Visual Analytics Project. He hosts…
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
