well done Lior.
There seems a subset of scientists who don’t understand
probability and are convinced that statisticians are just pedantic killjoys determined to take their significant results away from them.

Ecological momentary assessment data are everywhere these days. In psychology, dynamic structural equation models (DSEMs) are particularly attractive for analyzing such data. In this paper Ethan McCormick and I show how you can easily incorporate nonlinear trends and cycles using splines.

Would could possibly go wrong with using AI to read raw data to generate graphs that will put straight into articles for publication in scientific journals? 🤷♂️

Oh joy! BDR found a subtle warning on Fedora with gcc15 with very strict compiler flags that threatened to kick my galamm #rstats pkg out of CRAN by Saturday. After a week of headscratching I managed to set up my old Ubuntu laptop to reproduce the error :-)

Very interesting from @VidalDidac - MUCH higher reliability for structural neuroimaging measures with longer follow-up time rather than more follow-ups or higher n. 2.-year follow-up requires 4 times higher n than 6-year follow up. @LCBC_UiO direct.mit.edu/imag/article...
Reliability of structural brain change in cognitively healthy adult samples
Abstract. In neuroimaging research, tracking individuals over time is key to understanding the interplay between brain changes and genetic, environmental, or cognitive factors across the lifespan. Yet...

Wow!
Just reviewed for Mechanisms of Aging and Development, a respected journal w. IF>5, and found this in the acceptance letter: "This recommendation is primarily based on your esteemed standing in the academic community, rather than on the overall quality of the manuscript itself." What can you say?

Wow!
Preprint! The Bayesian Mallows model is a very flexible model for analyzing rank and preference data, and has been applied across a large number of domains. In many cases, however, the data naturally arrive sequentially in time. Existing Metropolis-Hastings algorithms scale poorly in this case

Does anyone know of a good quantitative methods textbook for the social sciences? Ideally not too tied to a given analysis program, and not too much ANOVA stuff. I'm teaching a course which covers experimental design, multiple regression, mixed models.

Just discovred quarto-webr, a quite amazing tool which lets you interactively write and evaluate R code within an html document. Live coding when teaching and presenting has never been easier!

These results look better than one would expect, right? At least when coming from psychology.
Our first meta paper is out!! This paper combines our first 110 completed reproductions/replications. This is joint work with 350+ amazing coauthors.
We summarize our findings below:
