Here’s what you can look forward to this week on the blog:
Mon 8 Apr 2024: Hey, some good news for a change! (Child psychology and Bayes)
Mon 8 Apr: People have needed rituals to turn data into truth for many years. Why would we be surprised if many people now need procedural reforms to work?
Tues 9 Apr: Here’s something you should do when beginning a project, and in the middle of a project, and in the end of the project: Clearly specify your goals, and also specify what’s not in your goal set.
Wed 10 Apr: “He had acquired his belief not by honestly earning it in patient investigation, but by stifling his doubts. And although in the end he may have felt so sure about it that he could not think otherwise, yet inasmuch as he had knowingly and willingly worked himself into that frame of mind, he must be held responsible for it.”
Thurs 11 Apr: How large is that treatment effect, really? (my talk at NYU economics department Thurs 18 Apr 2024, 12:30pm)
Fri 12 Apr: Delayed retraction sampling
Sat 13 Apr: Evidence, desire, support
Sun 14 Apr: Simulation to understand measurement error in regression
And now’s your chance to catch up on last week:
7 Apr: Evilicious 3: Face the Music
6 Apr: What is the prevalence of bad social science?
4 Apr: It’s Ariely time! They had a preregistration but they didn’t follow it.
3 Apr: Supporting Bayesian modelling workflows with iterative filtering for multiverse analysis
2 Apr: Bad parenting in the news, also, yeah, lots of kids don’t believe in Santa Claus
Unfortunately, that last post was not an April Fools. (At least part of) Stanford really is that bad. I’m thinking maybe they should do some joint initiative with nearby UNR.
