When it's Halloween, but your 2.5yo daughter insists that "we should bring the skeleton inside" and "make it cozy with a blankie and a pillow".

Key claims from HBS
Do you remember Francesca Gino's claim on her website that HBS analyzed the "wrong data file" in their investigation, and that a "real file" proved her innocence?
HBS is now claiming that the "real file" was fabricated by Gino... and thus that Gino's claim was defamatory.

Data Colada has submitted a motion for sanction against Francesca Gino and her former lawyer team.
I hope the court rules in their favor. It will be a powerful message that sleuths can expose fake research without fearing legal consequences.

Update on this: The Supplementary Materials report an attrition analysis showing that excluded and non-excluded participants do not significantly differ in some aspects.
This contradicts my hunch that "the most depressed participants" were excluded...
So all good then?

At first glance, the paper looks pretty rigorous: Pre-registrations! Open data and materials! FDR-corrected p-values! Independent replications!
So where's the problem? I suspect the answer lies in the sentence highlighted below:

A similar idea was expressed by Trump earlier this week, when he came out against machinery on docks.
However, this thinking neglects the second-order effects of labor replacement. It is undeniable that automation destroyed many factory and farm jobs...

Finally in print!
We discuss the value of group sequential designs: They make hypothesis testing more informative and more cost-effective; and we offer simple guidelines on how to adopt them.
Nick and I have been doing brown bags/webinars on it: Let us know if you are interested or have questions!

In this 2013 interview, he recounts analyzing a complex dataset himself and "creating everything" (Freudian slip)?
Anyway, if we counted self-contradicting statements he'd have lost his job a long time ago.
