Using test data from TwinLife (N=9,980, Culture Fair Test CFT 20-R), we show that Regularised Prediction and Poststratification yields IQ scores that differ by up to 19 IQ points (mean 4.19 pts) from those reported in the CFT 20-R manual
We're thrilled to announce the Ctrl-Z Award, a US$2,500 prize for researchers “who discover substantial errors in their published work and take meaningful steps to correct the scientific record."

oof I have some examples. do methodologists as second authors count tho?
I think this notion better maps onto some other methods used in psych, which I plan to blog about and which you also won't like.
People have tried both the budget idea (but what sets your budget) and ranking preferences/traits in various ways (pattern metrics). Usually ignoring measurement models.
IIRC Brendan (?) had something along the lines that the h2 of partner traits was zero-ish?
Not unique, no, but this makes it very obvious (and still people ignore the resulting confounding)
Yes, so this is a mistake people sometimes make but I focused on the bounded scale issue because a) that is less arguable b) it recurs in part 2 c) whether excess is good or bad is not so consequential because most ideals are so close to the bounds that you can’t exceed them by much.
I'm not sure. Your jargon is foreign to me and vice versa I guess? I wouldn't say I stressed calculating edges as the problem but lack of adjustment.
Some psychologists. Others do other things with different problems.
me being mildly cross at best about a low ceiling
This is me living up to my new year's resolution that I'll keep getting mad about low ceilings in measurement and elsewhere.

New post!
It may seem ambitious to ask for individual patient data from clinical trials to be shared, anonymized, for use by other researchers.
But the history of medicine shows us that clinical trials have already undergone a series of transformations that once seemed equally bold:
Screenshot of the "Does that use a lot of energy?" online app
Hannah Ritchie has built a fun little tool where you can compare energy usage of various products and activities.
This is super helpful imho, because it's so hard to develop intuitions even just about the scales involved here.

Sounds promising! Will you redirect the broken links or will they stay broken unless updated?
eg my R package was kicked off CRAN because it downloaded data from a link that broke. This required manual action to fix
As I understand it, but maybe I don’t, OSF never fixed the old links. They all broke. Over time Google reindexes, so you were able to click a freshly reindexed PDF, not the originally indexed one. But Google penalizes sites that break links and links in other places won’t sort themselves out.
New newspaper headline for your Intro to Causal Inference lecture just dropped
Please don't send me voice messages though.
Even before chatbots, I was absolutely the kind of person who'd rather program for hours to avoid a few minutes of rote manual (aural?) labour.
Except now it didn't take hours to program, maybe one or two. Just two hours of voice messages and I'll actually come out ahead.
The only feature I miss in Signal compared to WhatsApp was transcription of voice messages. So, I had Claude code a pipeline to do this locally on Mac using sigtop+ffmpeg+whisper at the click of a button. github.com/rubenarslan/...
the example I shared in this convo from anne's google scholar is still broken. by now, google has removed the OSF PDF link because the original link was never restored.
that you can find OSF PDFs on Google Scholar might be a) newly indexed ones b) manuscript where authors manually added PDFs
@briannosek.bsky.social this is still broken and google scholar does not show PDFs for OSF anymore. Doesn't this seem quite important to OSF's core function?

Per protocol analysis strikes again!
Folks, if you randomize but then don‘t analyze some of the people who got randomized (maybe because they didn’t adhere to instructions, maybe because they dropped out), randomization will no longer do all the heavy causal inference lifting.
to punish editors for sending poorly fitting requests? I mean I know it's mainly disorganisation, but IDK as the bright line between spam and special issues has eroded, I don't feel the same professional responsibility toward all
