Positive controls are one of the most useful tools for ensuring interpretable and fruitful research. Strangely, though, positive controls are rarely used in psychological research. That’s a shame, but also an opportunity–it would be an easy but substantial improvement for…

Precision for Planning: Great New Developments
–updated with a link from Ken Kelley to access the functions in the paper, 6/28/2018– In a new-statistics world, the best way to choose N for a study is to use precision for planning (PfP), also known as accuracy in…
Effect Sizes for Open Science
For the last 20 years or so, many journals have emphasised the reporting of effect sizes. The new statistics emphasised also the reporting of CIs on those effect sizes. Now Open Science places effect sizes, CIs, and their interpretation centre…
APS in San Fran 3: Workshop on Teaching the New Stats
Tamarah Smith and Bob presented a workshop on Teaching the New Stats to an almost sold-out crowd. I wasn’t there, but by all reports it went extremely well. Such a workshop seems to me a terrific way to help interested…

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.
