also true

@matthewbjane.bsky.social, thoughts on any of this?

I think we agree.

One *can* interpret sigma from y ~ group + some_covariate, but such a sigma is no longer the population pooled SD in the conventional sense, and is therefore not a great choice for a standardizer of a standardized mean difference (at least not in the typical sense).

Not quite: bsky.app/profile/solo...

In other words, sigma from y ~ group + some_covariate is no longer an estimator of the population pooled SD. It's just a statistical artifact at that point.

language is very difficult with character limits...

Thanks. I see what you mean, and should clarify that whereas I recognize that point, sigma from y ~ group is also an estimator of the population pooled SD. When I used the language of residual SD in the open post, I meant from covariates in addition to group.

Say more about 1. I don't follow. To my mind, it's counter to the logic behind Cohen's d.

In Ch 19 (nyu-cdsc.github.io/learningr/as...) of his 2nd edition, Kruschke used *residual* SD as a standardizer for group differences from a multilevel ANCOVA. Is there any precedent for using a *residual* SD as a standardizer for a standardized mean difference effect size? #RStats

How often do you see open code for dissertations at the UW?

This is the only correct answer

of all the reasons I got into science, trust wasn't among them

except the deaths of their suicidal clients

Despite heroic efforts by a small cadre of people in the field, the vast majority of senior PIs in clinical psychology continue to be uninterested or hostile to OS practices.

It makes me think they just don't care, and it's really depressing.

True that. Sometimes the community really comes out.
