Want to know what happens under the hood when calculating estimated marginal means? Read the {modelbased} vignette "Understanding marginalization methods"! It breaks down the different approaches with hands-on manual calculations using penguins-data. easystats.github.io/modelbased/a...

Apparently, if you use emojis that's also "AI slop" now. Can't us millennials get a moment to breathe??

My Immortal Time Bias

Preamble: This shortie is my attempt to come up with an example that makes the problem underlying immortal time bias as obvious as possible.  In Japan, people who reach the age of 100 are handed a co...

I got my prescription sunglasses today and I'm feeling it. I can see details far away even in the brightest sun. Why has no one told me this is so amazing? I haven't worn sunglasses since I was a kid. Omg, the world is glorious.

First time treadmill running today: survived, upright, only mightily terrified the whole time. Success.

Google Scholar just tried to credit me with a paper that isn't mine. Turns out there's another Aleksandra Lazić starting her academic career. Wishing you the best in your research journey! Pro tip: grab an ORCID iD early, it'll help distinguish us in the literature. 😄

I think I still have my herbarium sheets from elementary school. I should frame them, they would look so pretty. 😍

Mildly amused that "openwashing" only ever gets pinned on commercial Al companies. Academia invented openwashing. Exhibit A: "data available upon reasonable request" 😅 #OpenScience

No opinions to share, just wanted to say I've been dying of heat this week.

ESCIMate (escimate.app) is a small side project I've been working and has grown to something quite useful. Check it out, let me know if you have feedback. ESCIMate builds on idea of Statcheck, but goes further to calculate and check effect sizes and confidence intervals, and their many variants.

Society for the Improvement of Psychological Science (SIPS)@improvingpsych.org · 7d ago

Congratulations to the project “ESCIMate website and ESCIcheck R package,” which received🏆2026 SIPS commendation! ESCIMate is a tool that checks whether a paper's reported statistics are internally consistent, helping to surface errors and supporting the credibility of the reported evidence.

It tracks.

I keep seeing/hearing people say that there aren't any open-science and meta-research events. Collecting and curating these the past month has shown me there is a LOT going on, just maybe difficult to keep track. See screenshots, take your pick. Metaventory can help: metaventory.vercel.app/events

I'm looking into discrete choice modeling in R. If you've used it, which packages did you end up using, and how was your experience? #RStats

I'm "my classmates brought printed out Wikipedia articles to class to present as their own essays" years old. Can't think of anything this reminds me of happening currently in the world of education....

The problem is that "immortal time bias" is not an entertaining enough name. Maybe "vampire bias" or "zombie bias" is better

Reading up on immortal time bias and wow, I don't know whether there's any other bias that has a name that makes it so hard to explain what it actually is?

I have found a great new #stats teaching hack to find new open datasets for teaching. I've been going to the Collabra: Psychology journal website, and typing in an analysis type (e.g., logistic regression) into the search bar. Both quick and high-quality data! online.ucpress.edu/collabra

Reviewer notes: Odds ratios are really odd

When psychological researchers investigate binary outcomes, they routinely report odds ratios to quantify the strength of an effect or an association. This is quite understandable given that psycholog...
