The Academy Awards are out of the way, so we can focus on what’s really important: the APS Convention, May 23-26, 2019, in Washington D.C. For the first time for many years I won’t be there, but new-statistics action continues…

Statistical Cognition: An Invitation
Statistical Cognition (SC) is the study of how people understand–or, quite often, misunderstand–statistical concepts or presentations. Is it better to report results using numbers, or graphs? Are confidence intervals (CIs) appreciated better if shown as error bars in a graph…

flashbulb memory: @dstephenlindsay was visiting, and we went to Geoff Cummings’s talk. As it all sunk in, we slid down our chairs in horror.

So impressed with this statement.
So envious of the BNA--way ahead of @SfNJournals on these issues (though good steps at eNeuro).
Today I'm thankful for any graduate program whose LoR portal requires only a letter upload and none of those rating scales.
Its only p-hacking if it comes from the pihâque region of France. Otherwise it's just sparkling malpractice
New Stats blog: Replications: How Should We Analyze the Results? https://thenewstatistics.com/itns/2019/11/22/replications-how-should-we-analyze-the-results/
We examined close to 1 million confidence intervals in PubMed abstracts and found a huge and unbelievable number of intervals that were just below the magic 0.05 statistically significant threshold https://bmjopen.bmj.com/content/9/11/e032506.full, with @Jonathan_D_Wren
