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

New paper on DaBest 2.0, outlining its cool visualizations for complex designs. For both R and python, DaBest is a fantastic, easy tool for focusing on effect sizes and uncertainty. #statsky www.nature.com/articles/s41...

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

Julia M. Rohrer@dingdingpeng.the100.ci · 3d ago

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

New blog post! Odds ratios are...a bit weird. Here I explain two problems (interpretation, non-collapsibility) and provide some simple recommendations for improved reporting. www.the100.ci/2026/07/30/r...

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...

Has anybody written a good, punchy piece that essentially just says “Odds ratio is kinda odd” with some basic explanation? I’m looking for something to cite in reviews and know certain canonical resources, but I’m more thinking in terms of short and casual read.

I once challenged myself to finish my 10k race before the winning guy finished his half marathon. Beat him. Absolutely glorious. 😅 I'm all for this strategy.

Michel Nivard@michelnivard.bsky.social · 2w ago

I wonder if I could run the 100m, 200m, 400m 00m 800m, 1mile, 5k and 10k at half the speed of the current world records… it would be a fun general/allround fitness challenge for anyone under like 45/50, as it puts you in a healthy but not insane speed/pace range.

Could Excel be conscious? We surveyed more than Jan 1 1900 people to find out.
