If you teach power analysis to undergrads or your grad students need a review, this widget may help. Includes a description and visualizations of power analyses for multiple tests, high-resolution OC charts, and sample code for #MATLAB, #Rstats, and #Python. #stats tpavlic.github.io/asu-simulati...

Power Explorer—statistical power by simulation and by formula

Statistical power made manipulable: watch the null and alternative sampling distributions separate as the sample size grows, estimate power by Monte Carlo simulation and check it against the exact ans...

In 2023, @nature.com published 'Papers and patents are becoming less disruptive over time', receiving world-wide media attention. Our Matters Arising, published after a 32 month delay (more on that soon), shows that the reported decline can largely be attributed to dataset artefacts. 🧵

The average CD_5 index per year for Web of Science. The original Park et al. decline (top curve) becomes essentially flat (bottom curve) when removing papers with CD_5=1. Those papers largely correspond to dataset artefacts.

🎯 Goodhart’s law: if you make a list of variants the target, people will get really good at calling those variants. But those variants are not a genome! As a result, we’ve been stuck trying to read genomes under the lamppost of short reads [4/15]

So if you’re not an investigative reporter, how can you know if the people picking your fruit are being mistreated? I spoke with experts who said the gold standard for preventing worker abuse is the Fair Food Program: www.propublica.org/article/h-2a...

Employers Have Exploited and Abused H-2A Farmworkers for Years. It Doesn’t Have to Be That Way.

The seasonal visa program has failed to protect migrant farmworkers from wage theft, forced labor, violence and death. Experts, lawyers and advocates say there are ways to reduce and even stop the har...

Not every open-source project wants more contributors right now, and that's fine. Four shapes maintainers run — walled castle, clique, university, hippie commune — and your `CONTRIBUTING.md` is saying the quiet part out loud. No wrong answer, just an honest one. blog.stdlib.io/do-you-want-...

“move from preprint to peer-reviewed publication leaves the central claims of most abstracts intact, indicating preprints are a reliable source…papers that were never posted as preprints were retracted at roughly twice the rate of those that were…” www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

Preprints now disseminate a large share of biomedical research before peer review. Because they have not yet passed peer review, some scientists regard preprint claims as unverified or potentially unr...

Hmm, is there a way to soft-release a print of a paper for public review, Jay? Like an economics working paper. Some sort of a pre-print mechanism, if you will. 🤔 PubMed could index these, with a clear “NOT PEER REVIEWED” indication. What do you think @richardsever.bsky.social ? Madness, I guess

(4) The CDC report on COVID vaccine efficacy He said that there were clear methodological flaws and the moderator (also an economist) agreed. If that is the case, then he should have issued a clear statement to that effort with timeline for generating a more methodologically sound paper. 24/30

Your written protocols and lab notebooks are a love letter to your future self (whether it’s you or a future lab member). Please be kind. Here are some critical things I have frequently noticed missing: (feel free to add yours in thread 🧵)
