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

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…
New Stats blog: A Tribute to Wayne Velicer https://thenewstatistics.com/itns/2020/02/24/a-tribute-to-wayne-velicer/
A free OA journal devoted to reproducibility! Welcome! https://twitter.com/jrepneurosci/status/1229059229920776192
Journal for Reproducibility in Neuroscience is now live. JRN provides a forum for sharing results supporting or contradicting articles already published. The commentary and mini-review articles on the topic of reproducibility are also welcome.

A demo on teaching the @TheNewStats is in here. By yours truly. https://teachpsych.org/ebooks/lovestats
Holy fork-balls! This is astonishing. The worst part is that requests for transparency were so successfully evaded. Gonna go cry for a bit.
My editorial paper entitled, "No raw data, no science: another possible source of the reproducibility crisis". When I feel the results are too beautiful, I requested raw data before sending it out for review. 40 out of 41 did not send me the right data.

This is a *huge* collection of resources for teaching statistics, including detailed tutorials on incorporating R and jamovi into ugrad stats.
If you teach stats to psych students, I have some exciting news to share. Alisa Beyer and I have just edited the newest STP e-book, For the Love of Teaching Undergraduate Statistics. It's free to download, so everyone can spruce up their stats pedagogy!

New Study: Reporting CIs still produces a cliff effect in confidence. https://arxiv.org/abs/2002.07671
Good news: Alternative visualizations help and cliff effect weak for comparing two means.
Cool work by @jouni_helske @lonnibesancon @satuhelske @andersynnerman
Our paper on visualization of confidence intervals is now at ArXiv: https://arxiv.org/abs/2002.07671. Main conclusions: Classic CI viz does not help in cliff effect compared to p-values and textual information. More complex violin and gradient style plots do reduce the effect somewhat.
