Now officially out with nice formatting and all 🥳 "Thinking clearly about age, period, and cohort effects" -- a gentle introduction to the age-period-cohort problem and how to "solve" it through various types of assumptions. journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

The quarto-preprint extension v0.16 (github.com/mvuorre/quar...) now enables full-width content in two-column #quartopub #typst documents (and more!; via github.com/christopherk...). Hope this makes Quarto a bit more useful for writing well-typeset reproducible #rstats manuscripts 💙

Starting to look like I might not be able to work at Harvard anymore due to recent funding cuts. If you know of any open statistical consulting positions that support remote work or are NYC-based, please reach out! 😅

"By removing journals as an option...Our researchers became more creative and collaborative..." One of the most exciting articles on #ScientificPublishing I've read in a while. A step closer to a self-publishing revolution in science. 🧪✊

dear microsoft i would prefer it if your software had fewer (ideally: zero) "copilot" buttons

Sometimes when I talk to intervention scientists about #measurement #psychometrics I get the argument “even if this questionnaire has bad psychometrics, everyone else in my field uses it and I want to be able to compare my results with theirs”. Let’s talk about how that is a misunderstanding 🧵 1/6

🚨 New study reveals that when used to summarize scientific research, generative AI is nearly five times less accurate than humans. Many haven't realized, but Gen AI's accuracy problem is worse than initially thought.

New preprint: ”Uncovering Measurement Issues in Collective Efficacy: A Rasch-Based Evaluation”: osf.io/preprints/os... We find inadequate measurement properties for both subscales in this widely used survey questionnaire on collective efficacy. #psychometrics #rasch

🚨New R package! {easymediation}🚨 The *Simplest* and *Most Correct* Way to Do Causal Mediation Analysis Are you tired of explaining mediation analysis to your colleagues? Just send them this package. github.com/rpsychologis...

Undrar om han kan komma och tala lite förstånd med Uffe o co.

I thought exactly the same many, many times. Reviewers entirely ignore the methodological part of the paper and take its results at face value, but they will debate the "framing" of it in every little detail.

Took the opportunity to flex my #marginaleffects muscle and write a little guide for computing ranks and rank-based contrasts from ordinal regression models. Check it out! #rstats

Our new paper is out in Statistics in Medicine! We developed a joint model for multiple (un)bounded longitudinal markers, recurrent events, and competing risks, applied to US CF patient registry data. Joint work with @drizopoulos.bsky.social and @erandrinopoulou.bsky.social. doi.org/10.1002/sim....

Vignettes of Ipswich GFX50R vs Rolleicord (I'm only kidding! The Widelux version I haven't shown you yet wins hands down... 😜) #StaringAtWalls #filmphotography

Really looking forward to this. It's been six years since his last book.

once again expressing my gratitude for the amazing R packages we have these days, my life would be so much harder without glmmTMB and marginaleffects

Yet another paper showing that CBT is ineffective as universal prevention. Importantly, this is not an argument against universal prevention in general. To me, it seems that early interventions targeting self-regulation and cooperation/social skills are more promising and should be studied further.

priorsense 1.1.1, for prior and likelihood sensitivity analysis, is now in CRAN (n-kall.github.io/priorsense/) There is now an easier way to select which priors are power-scaled using the new prior tags feature in brms (2.22.11+), which allows focusing the analysis on specific priors. 1/3

1. LLM-generated code tries to run code from online software packages. Which is normal but 2. The packages don’t exist. Which would normally cause an error but 3. Nefarious people have made malware under the package names that LLMs make up most often. So 4. Now the LLM code points to malware.

I had reason to revisit this thread, and it contains a nice discussion with some great papers and resources. Friends don't let friends fit random-intercept-only models, when there's also room for random slopes. #rstats

📚😅🎉 Yay!! I just submitted the complete manuscript of my upcoming book to the publisher! Learn to easily and clearly interpret (almost) any stats model w/ R or Python. Simple ideas, consistent workflow, powerful tools, detailed case studies. Read it for free @ marginaleffects.com #RStats #PyData
