"even if data are quantitative and numerical, the ways in which they are analysed and, to a greater extent, the inferences made from this analysis, will vary depending on who the researcher is." I LOVE this paper, which talks about reflexivity in quant, not qual, research tinyurl.com/3r3s39ty

Reflexivity is the act of examining one's own assumption, belief, and judgement systems, and thinking carefully and critically about how these influence the research process.

BLOG POST: Invalid Conclusions Built on Statistical errors If you see a small p-value or a large separation in confidence intervals, you may assume that an effect is reliable. But overly simple reporting may be hiding serious conclusion-altering errors. Here are some example scenarios: 1/🧵 #stats

When you see the statistical result of an experiment like p = 0.003 or a 95% confidence interval of , you might assume a certain clarity and definitiveness in those results. A null effect is very unli...
