Please note that you cannot infer that this subtweet is about you because that would be conditioning on the subtweet, which is inferentially problematic.

Pretty much *the No.1* thing you learn NOT to do in science/statistics is to look at graphs that have similar lines and then imply that one thing must be causing the other.

But now loads of very smart people are doing just this, and everyone is nodding along! What's going on!?

I would be interested to hear what someone who knows more about quantile regression thinks about this @alexpghayes @PHuenermund

New blog post on the Killingsworth, Kahneman, Mellers paper and censored mixed effects location-scale models.
TLDR: sampling error, censoring, and heterogeneous within-subject variance could all bias the KKM estimates. Better models exist (with brms)

Thinking deeply is an irregular verb:
I think deeply
You nitpick
He/she [depends on if I like them]
We think deeply
You all are bullies
They [depends] twitter.com/ianhussey/status/1

I don't think there's nothing substantive to these trends, but, man, I don't trust that gang with their thirst for monocausal explanations to get to the bottom of this or anything else really.

Ah yes, the good old "we tried chopping up the data many ways to find a specific three-way-interaction we had in mind". You love to see it in 2023.

Working with Malte is wonderful! If this project interests you, apply, if it doesn't consider developing an interest so you can apply.

New post! Are representative samples redundant at best? @dingding_peng investigates 3 scenarios: estimating a prevalence, estimating a causal effect in an experiment, and estimating a causal effect (or a correlation!) in an observational study. the100.ci/2023/03/07/non-repre

OK, time to spill it: When you prompt ChatGPT with a Stackoverflow question template to get help with R programming, whose name do you put in as the person answering?

@rlmcelreath I'm terribly sorry Richard but I saw two of your tweets in close succession and then this just sort of happened.

Rishi Sunak just announced up to £50m in funding for new “focused research organisations.”

FROs are a new way of doing science. In effect, they apply the startup model to scientific research. 🧵

What might a Biobank FRO look like?

Our paper sets out one idea — a biobank family study.

Is Economics self-correcting? We have a new discussion paper, joint with N Fiala & @flneubauer. Quick answer is: No, rather not. We reviewed all replications published as comments in the AER. Plus, we surveyed the authors. A short thread 1/. bit.ly/3y0wMYp
