How often are multiverse analyses implemented, not just cited/discussed? How are they implemented? 🧵 New preprint on the uptake and implementation of multiverse-style analyses 👇 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

Uptake and Implementation of Multiverse-style Analyses Across 613 Studies

Empirical conclusions can depend on the many individual choices researchers make when analyzing data. Multiverse-style analyses address this by computing results across a set of specifications rather ...

When schools close, due to COVID-19 lockdown or holidays, the gender gap in reading increases. This is a challenge as boys already struggle more with reading skills than girls. New paper in @pnas.org with Emil Smith, @davidreimer.bsky.social & @madsjaeger.bsky.social www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

We are 100% in the fuck phase.

The standard random-effects model in meta-analysis assumes that the amount of heterogeneity is homoscedastic. This assumption may not be true. I derived and examined various tests for heteroscedastic heterogeneity. See osf.io/cavhy for a preprint describing these methods. #MetaAnalysis #RStats

Austin et al. (2026) advocated for AI in hypothesis-driven scale validation research. In this preprint, led by @wchiggins.bsky.social, we (@malte.the100.ci @bethclarke.bsky.social) sketch out several weaknesses in this paper, and offer recommendations for avoiding them. osf.io/preprints/ps... 1/🧵

So, Nature retracted a much cited meta-analysis on "AI in education" because it had terrible methodology today. Unfortunately, it had been around for some months persuading people that AI in education had proven positive effects. Instead, read this paper […]

Na, das bringt das Land bestimmt nach vorne! Die drittgrößte Wirtschaft der Welt sagt ihren Beschäftigten: Fuck you! Wir sollten auch noch die Kündigungsfristen für Wohnungen auf drei Tage herabsetzen und die gesetzlichen Krankenversicherungen ganz abschaffen, wie in den USA. Dann wird alles gut!

This is really big (if it works!)—a big limitation for the use of R in simulation up to this point has been memory bloat. I’ve had to turn off parallel processing/reduce the number of workers many times in my {targets} workflows due to OOM errors. Hopefully this will solve that problem #RStats
