Just updated the arXiv version of our upcoming paper 🚀 We show how to build three-way tests (accept, reject, or stay undecided) using confidence/credible regions. They’re logically coherent and control type I & II errors—even when testing multiple hypotheses. No significance corrections needed!

A friend of mine, I recently found out, does really fantastic memes about economics and econometrics. The initial ones are in Russian, but I convinced her to translate them into english so I could share them with a broader audience, I think many of you will appreciate them!
🚨 New paper on ArXiv: “Uncertainty quantification and posterior sampling for network reconstruction” TL;DR; We present an efficient method to sample the entire ensemble of possible network reconstructions that are compatible with an indirect observation, e.g. a dynamics. Short thread: 1/N

I am happy to announce that a paper of mine, Rafael B. Stern and @rafael-izbicki.bsky.social has been accepted for publication at the International Journal of Approximate Reasoning 🎉 In our paper, we show how to build and test hypotheses of practical equivalence in nonparametric settings. 🧵

Since my previous epi starter pack was very popular, I've made another one to help you find stats & meta-science people on Bluesky! Feel free to suggest anyone who might be missing. go.bsky.app/LqYZHBX
I made a metascience starter pack, emphasizing accounts that often post about metascience rather than specific science reform policy advocacy. go.bsky.app/PhZ1Q4g
Ontem saíram duas pesquisas para prefeitura de SP com resultados relativamente diferentes, principalmente para o candidato Boulos. A matéria abaixo tenta explicar essas diferenças do ponto de vista metodológico. E tem a participação dessa pessoa que vos escreve 😄

lot of negativity towards AI lately, but consider : are these tools ethical or environmentally sustainable? No. *but* do they enable great things that people want? Also no. *but* are they being made by well meaning people for good reasons? Once again, no. maybe you're not being negative *enough*

A starter pack with causal inference I know. Unsure if this is the correct way of doing this, but I'm learning go.bsky.app/FdemGAZ
Created a starter pack of Bayesians. It is *very* biased by who I engage with regularly and who I know is on this site. Let me know if you want to be added to the list or know someone who should be. #stats go.bsky.app/UfgChHe
This is a good article, but this remains the most important point. Elon is not challenging the decision in court, he is simply acting like he's above the law and ignoring the sovereign government of Brazil. He's not hiring legal counsel, he's posting memes in English about Xandão.
Brazil has been ahead of the curve in fighting misinformation, but its ban of X has some wondering if it has gone too far www.nytimes.com/2024/08/31/w...

Brazilians online are a force of nature 😀 Welcome, fellow Brazilians 🇧🇷 Maybe now Bluesky will finally get the party started 🥳
Changed my profile pic to stay in line with Brazilianization of Bluesky.
