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…
A little promo video about our lab. So proud of our amazing students. https://t.co/yJzrhl2sa2
Visualizing and interpreting uncertainty is vital to good inference. Here is a promising approach with some real data on how it supports good judgements from data.
I'm excited to share our study on HOPs at VIS 2018 w/ @JessicaHullman @mjskay & @_fmnguyen.

mmmmm... tasty nucleotides.
WOW! Appetitive feeding behavior towards RNA in flies! https://t.co/rJogZvLmd5
One of our 2019 #nitop workshops is on teaching stats with a focus on estimation, open science, and meta-analysis with @TheNewStats Robert Calin-Jageman. Join us!
Nathoo, Kilshaw, and Masson introduce 95% Bayesian credible intervals. https://t.co/zMY8Y7avfU
Better visualizations for better inference.
How best to display data from two groups? Our new @biorxivpreprint argues that the best replacement for t-tests is the Estimation Plot. Unlike older statistical graphics, an estimation plot explicitly visualizes the comparison.
