Oh I see! Then I also agree lol

Which is why the causal inference we work with is probabilistic and not deterministic

I’m with @solomonkurz.bsky.social . Is this how the field is looking at causal inference? The causal inference class I took in grad school and the ones I teach focus on how we typically only have INUS conditions.

Take a look at our new pre print for different approach on how to calculate the dynamic range of diurnal cortisol, led by the talented @kvanbogart.bsky.social

New preprint!

Interested in examining HPA axis regulation or allostatic load? We present three approaches to computing the dynamic range of diurnal cortisol — with advantages, limitations, and examples with R code for each approach.

All this! I just did a causal inference workshop at Penn State and I started off with “stats can’t save you here. Causal inference is a qualitative inference given the data collected and the design of your study.” It was very Shadish, Cook, and Campbell heavy with a dash of DAGs

This book was so good! Have you read jonathan strange and mr norrell yet?

The tabachnick and Fidell book, analyzing experiments using ANOVA. has a nice section on a priori contrast for one way and factorial ANOVAs. They even include a table at the end for different contrast based on the number of groups you have. Linda collins MOST book is a good one too

If MCAR, I’ll just randomly impute 1s and 0s so I don’t lose power

I will be damned if I allow a bunch of Confederate-waving January 6th apologists give the American people a lecture on flag waving.

There is ZERO reason to enter an argument about patriotism with people who still worship traitors to America 150+ years later.

They. Are. Breaking. The. Law.

Oh absolutely. Unfortunately it means you’ll have to double check these errors in lme4 before determining if they are erroneous though

Another thing to request, particularly when using lme4 or nlme in R, is the confidence intervals. If you just do a summary on the model object, you won’t actually know if your model has converged, particularly in the random effects. Asking for confint (in lme4) or intervals(in nlme) will check this

As a Sacramento kings fan, I am a fan of anyone that is a thorn in the Lakers side. Go Celtics!

Have you been telling participants to “git gud” in your studies?

Wow, this is an impressive three to have in one talk!

I once heard someone say that “they didn’t need to randomize because the data were all collected so close in time to each other”

Rates of Population-Level Child Sexual Abuse After a Community-Wide Preventive Intervention This study tests whether a coordinated, community-wide preventive intervention could significantly reduce population-level incidence rates of child sexual abuse.

Check out this new one from JAMA Pediatrics that I did the analyses for

jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

We used Synthetic Control Method to evaluate the effectiveness of a coordinated county-level child sexual abuse prevention intervention program

Definitely this paper. It is written so clearly without a lot (or any equations). It helped me also see that the whole DAGs framework also fits with the threats to validity and the Rubin’s causal framework

That is a really clever poster design

I agree with all of this. Outliers are really individuals in your sample that come from a different population than you intended to collect, not necessarily extreme values.

Will shadish had a great paper on this where participants were randomized to choose their condition or to be randomly assigned to condition www.statpower.net/Content/MLRM...

Interesting. I wonder if these findings generalize across methods for establishing childhood adversity? Lots of work on how prospective and objective measures of child maltreatment (to biological measures) are related to different outcomes than retrospective self-report (to psych measures)

EMA/Daily Diary researchers!

Do you have a dataset with momentary or daily loneliness among adults 18+? @kvanbogart.bsky.social is seeking datasets to support a coordinated data analysis

Email Karina.vanbogart@northwestern.edu with a brief description of your dataset to be considered! #psychscisky

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent.

Opportunities are everywhere.

Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

That’s a great question. I haven’t seen anything published on that. I only have a single anecdote with an adult male around 59 years old. when I was collecting my dissertation data, the father of one of my RAs wanted to try it and it worked despite him knowing the goal and undergrad confederates

The Resurrection of Doseone After decades of heartbreak, loss, and reinvention, the prolific artist returns to his roots with “All Portrait, No Chorus”—a fearless reminder of hip-hop's boundless potential.

I had no idea that I would get a burst of motivation after reading this @bandcamp.com article about @doseone.bsky.social , but here I am sciencing on a Saturday daily.bandcamp.com/features/dos...

All Portrait, No Chorus, by doseone & Steel Tipped Dove 14 track album

Wow, I was not expecting a release from @doseone.bsky.social! This album is a incredible
