Ha. Good job keeping your ego in check

You're above average!

why we have IRBs in a single post

Ok pals. Looking to move all my teaching materials open and online, and am developing new modules that I want to start off this way. Content = reading, quizzes, videos, and code tutorials. Opinions on the best platform? Good examples of best practice I can steal from? Many thanks.

Though I should note that I, in general, don't care for change scores. Nevertheless, they can be useful in some cases.

In an RCT, pre/post differences *within* groups are not themselves causal effects. You have confounding with history. However, one can use change scores to compute the causal effect of treatment *between* the groups. It’s all very tricky and easy to confuse.

Has anyone tried teaching *only* Bayesian inferential #stats for undergrad psych (or other UG sosci programs)?
Like completely foregoing NHST, confidence whatevers, p values, CLT...

I'd be very interested in seeing a syllabus of such a course/ program!

Looking for insight 💡

What tools are people using these days to make external facing dashboards that are low/no cost and where are you hosting them?

Clinical trial reforms that once seemed radical How randomized controlled trials, preregistration, and results reporting became standard practice.

New post!

It may seem ambitious to ask for individual patient data from clinical trials to be shared, anonymized, for use by other researchers.

But the history of medicine shows us that clinical trials have already undergone a series of transformations that once seemed equally bold:

I like your overall layout. I was surprised you didn't suppress the running chain output, though.

My approach to analyzing data vs other approaches

gotta have something to talk about

Everyone give Matt papers

alwayse

If I understand the term, which is tenuous given it's not used in my discipline, pragmatic randomized trials seem like a nice design

correct

I agree, but would add that that's applicable to a wide range of research and data-analytic procedures.

Pharma trials are sufficiently out of my domain that it wouldn't be wise for me to comment

Come for the stats, stay for the Platz

Even Dinesh from Silicon Valley pulled off the Fight Club physique

I mean, many dudes could get like 65% there with a good weight cut. Pitt wasn't exactly stacked

I'm not trying to be Tom Platz out here. I'm just looking for that Brad Pitt Fight Club physique.
