New preprint! 🙌 We used several genetically-informed designs to better estimate returns to education in Norway. Very thorough work by @tarjeiw.bsky.social! Check out his thread 👇 As always, we are very happy for any feedback on this work, don't hesitate to reach out 🧑‍🏫

Have you ever wondered about nonlinearity in bivariate genetic associations? Or wondered whether global estimators like genetic correlations tell the full story about the relationship between two phenotypes, then check out @michelnivard.bsky.social thread on some work we’ve been doing to model this.

🚨NEW PAPER! Together with Wuno Akingbuwa (@wonuola.bsky.social) we developed a way to estimate non-linear genetic correlations. It didnt sit well with us that known non-linear relations (e.g. BMI and MDD with a famous U shaped ) are poorly captured in statistical genetics. 🧵

Next time you hear someone say preregistration and multiple testing corrections are 'not a thing' in sociology, just point to Gaia Ghirardi's award-winning paper as proof they should be! 🌟 Huge congratulations to Gaia on winning the Best Paper Award from the Italian Sociology Association! 🎉

I’m convinced that this is a catastrophe waiting to happen, simply because 1) sharing identifiable data is easier than anonymised data, 2) we reward ppl for sharing but not for anonymising, and 3) I’ve seen it several times without looking for it, suggesting a high base rate

I pushed an update for MCMSEM. MCMSEM is an advanced extension of SEM (Developed with Zenab Tamimy and Matthijs van der Zee), which considers not just covariance but also co-skewness and co-kurtosis. It means you can test causal models! github.com/MichelNivard... follow examples in the thread 👇 1/?

It's like if @dingdingpeng.the100.ci was in my head, saw all my confusion since I started hanging out with personality psychologists, and said "I got you". Thank you, now I understand why I don't understand where they are going, and I have some arguments to move forwards.

What is common knowledge in your field but shocks outsiders? The cost of surveys. It costs up to about €1 million to field a comparative survey in one country. This means that a survey like SHARE costs about ~€30 million per wave. Its good value, but its not cheap. www.ukri.org/opportunity/...

Mendelian randomization users, what should I call a polygenic score created for and used with MR? I find PGS/PGI confusing to newcomers as not all ways of creating a PGS will do. Would it be clearer to call this score an allelic score instead? Or something else?
