Technologically speaking, we live in an age of miracles.

In the last few years, we finally got malaria vaccines; we finally got an antiviral that prevents HIV infections with 95-100% efficacy.

But it all means nothing if people don't know it and don't use them.

This is worrying: less replicable studies seem to make up the difference with bluster & confidence.

"even if data are quantitative and numerical, the ways in which they are analysed and, to a greater extent, the inferences made from this analysis, will vary depending on who the researcher is."

I LOVE this paper, which talks about reflexivity in quant, not qual, research

BLOG POST: Invalid Conclusions Built on Statistical errors

If you see a small p-value or a large separation in confidence intervals, you may assume that an effect is reliable. But overly simple reporting may be hiding serious conclusion-altering errors.

Most papers comparing clustered data methods use biostat/econ language, so I tried to write one using psyc/ed language that covers the origin of the independence assumption, how each method handles ind. violations, and types of questions best-suited for each method
