1st day of #MITNB meeting at @tesc-tilburgu.bsky.social. Excited for the week ahead, where we'll tackle measurement issues in #ESM, e.g. modeling processes across timescales, building a formal theory on measurement, and evaluating statistical assumptions in #ESM data.

Simulation studies have a conflict of interest problem. The same team:
- develops a new method
- designs a simulation study to evaluate it
However, the new method has to show good performance to get published.
We propose living synthetic benchmarks to address the issue (doi.org/10.48550/arX...).
