Currently a lot of attention is going to get people to preregister, to check preregistrations, and noting deviations. But the most important step will be evaluating the impact of the deviations! There is almost no work on this. Good topic for a young metascientist!

Poster: Rethinking Count Data in Psychology

As part of this, we focus on why Negative Binomial Models Belong in Investigative Interviewing Research, and do so by reanalysing data from the orginal Aysmetric Information Management β€˜AIM’ technique doi.org/10.1016/j.ja...

The Perspectives on Scientific Error (#PSE8) conference was great - I will be coming back.

It was nice meeting so many new people, and getting the opportunity to discuss statistical, philosophical, and meta-scientific issues of scientific error.

Insights from the #PSE8 conference

Day 2: I was particularly struck by a presentation from Prof Leif Nelson on the detection of problematic data.

I wonder how many of us have came across problematic papers - or datasets and don’t what to do!?

I think it depends on the journal. I’m an editor for @iiirg-iirp.bsky.social & we don’t currently have a IF. We are diamond access & not part of any of the big publishers. This means our community acts as reviews, editors and editorial board members. I see no reason why we would reject replications.

What if journals adopted a different model? Imagine if, alongside accepting an original research article, a journal also committed in principle to considering well-designed replications of that work. Such an approach could strengthen reliability, and incentivise transparency.

Insights from the Perspectives on Scientific Error (#PSE8) conference

🧡 Day 1: what a thought provoking morning.

Replication remains one of the cornerstones of scientific progress, yet replication studies are still notoriously difficult to publish. Many never make it into print at all.

Everything is ready for the Perspectives on Scientific Error conference that starts tomorrow in Leiden! I look forward to hanging out with the mix of metascientists, philosophers of science, and statisticians! So many old friends will be there (and hopefully some new ones)! #PSE8

Compositional data (proportions that sum to 1) behave in ways standard models aren’t built for

I walk through why Dirichlet regression is often the right tool & what extra insight it gives using a real ex of eyetracking

WhatsApp responded to the findings of our new Cambridge Trust and Safety index:

"WhatsApp said in a statement that it welcomed the research into an industry it said was "aiming to mislead internet services."

Our discussions were around toxicology, changes in legislation, confirmation bias in the courtroom, typical errors that crime authors make, and that is to give a few examples! If you’re in the Bristol areas I would recommend these β€˜Desert Island Books’ events.

Knowing ANOVA Lost in space WARNING. I know nothing about agriculture and even less about spatial statistics.

#statstab #428 Knowing ANOVA

Thoughts: "Is ANOVA just a special case of regression? Maybe". We sometimes forget the benefits of specific cases of a linear model.
