TODAY IS THE DAY! 🥳 "Truth Addict" is officially out! If you/your students want to understand the logic of quantitative research, but w/o the math & jargon, then I'm 95% confident you'll enjoy this book 😉 Anything you can do to help spread the world would be SO appreciated! 🙏

There are 17 different methods to measure whether confidence tracks accuracy, and these do not include Bayesian or Information Theory based measurements. We present MetaSignal with @makwana.bsky.social @lazyneuron.bsky.social and @brianodegaard.bsky.social to have common platform to access them.

Making a causal claim, however weak and tentative, without even listing all your assumptions = Asking for the million dollar lottery prize without demonstrating that you have all matching numbers

What explainer/resource do you direct researchers to when they conclude the null hypothesis is true on the basis of not rejecting it? It ought to mention that possible solutions include equivalence testing (or just interpreting the confidence interval) and Bayes factors. Maybe just "ask AI".

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 · 2d 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.

I'm excited to announce that I will be reviewing graduate student applications for Fall 2027 admissions! I review applications in both the Personality, Development, and Health and the Clinical Science (Weinberg) programs.

I'm so happy to announce version 2.0.0 of my #Rstats package WeightIt is out on CRAN! New features: censoring weights, multilevel propensity scores, improved weights for continuous treatments, bias-reduced ordinal and multinomial models, M-estimation in subgroups Check out the website below!

Weighting for Covariate Balance in Observational Studies

Generates balancing weights for causal effect estimation in observational studies with binary, multi-category, or continuous point or longitudinal treatments by easing and extending the functionality ...

Have you built an LLM-based research tool and had to stumble your way through figuring out how to validate it? Me too! So I wrote a guide on how to systematically approach this. Preprint here: osf.io/preprints/ps...

Here is your regular reminder that people were saying there was a replication crisis 50 years ago without anyone paying them to do so. Almost as if these people just cared about improving science, and nothing else! rips-irsp.com/articles/10....

A great read on moving beyond traditional ANOVA and towards estimation-based approaches for multi-group comparisons. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

I was not reviewer 2. But I am so annoyed by Americans pretending the whole open science movement is funded by John Arnold. His investments are absolutely dwarfed by what the European Union and European science funders have invested in Open science. Only incredibly biased people would ignore this.

New paper in @nature.com with @lukebeehewitt.bsky.social, @isaiasghezae.bsky.social, & @robbwiller.bsky.social: Can LLMs predict results of social science experiments? Across 70 experiments, we find a strong correspondence (r=.85) between predicted and observed effects. doi.org/10.1038/s415... 🧵

Analysis Multiversi is out now: nulliusinverba.podbean.com/e/episode-81... What is the epistemic goal of multiverse analysis? Should we incorporate the uncertainty in many analyst approaches into our statistical inferences? (😬)? Is the variability mainly due to low effort of non-experts?

Episode 81: Analysis Multiversi | Nullius in Verba

In this episode, we will discuss multiverse analysis–what it is, why we use it, and how we should use it. We also discuss many analyst projects, and Daniel's new preprint on multiverse analysis.…

I'm interested in finding and potentially supporting people who are interested in doing long-form writing on the big efforts in global health: Gavi, Global Fund, PEPFAR, etc. If this is you or someone you know, please make yourself known!

We wrote a letter to a journal pointing out that a paper they published was based on a premise known to be false. The paper was later retracted. An anonymous person has now complained on PubPeer, saying the retraction was distasteful, unscientific, and unethical pubpeer.com/publications... #metasci

Of note, this study is about articles from PLOS journals who allow authors to decide whehter review reviews will be openly published alongside the article (very first sentence of paper). With this information, your DAG looks very different than with the information from the post / headline below.

Papers with publicly available peer-review reports are less likely to be retracted than are those without public reports, a new study has found. My latest for @nature.com: www.nature.com/articles/d41... @aidybarnett.bsky.social, @jeroenson.bsky.social, @jessicapolka.bsky.social

LLMs can accurately predict the results of social science experiments Across 70 preregistered studies, there was a very strong correlation (r=.85) between LLM-predicted results and observed effects in actual experiments. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Nice post about how weird odds ratios can be, and some ways to do a nice job Our lab had some complimentary tutorials on this over the years, for main effects psycnet.apa.org/fulltext/202... And interactions: www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1...

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...

Prominent researchers in my field spent over 2 decades telling big stories about the relation between brain & mental health with very little robust data. This has led to really crazy stuff like this, impossible if we had not normalized this bizarre storytelling. www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-i...

A scientist says he can scan prisoners’ brains for signs of evil. Did his disputed science put a man on death row?

Kent Kiehl convinced the US legal system he can find violence in prisoners’ brains. His theories have been since used by defense lawyers – with grave consequences for prisoners

There are genuinely no words to express how much I LOVE my public library and how HAPPY I am it exists and that some of my tax dollars go towards it🥹 What a beautiful thing to have not only books for FREE but a place to exist without paying for anything, a range of services, a place to meet! 🥰📚

Our platform runs for roughly €25/day — and anyone can publish on it for free. The APC for a single paper could instead keep ResearchEquals online for months: Nature: €10,000 → ~400 days Scientific Data: €2,390 → ~96 days PLOS Biology: $5,500 → ~190 days DM us if your OA funds need more purpose 😉
