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."
Covered by @nature.com today; read more here: centerforscientificintegrity.org/2026/03/10/a...
I remember the widespread pushback when the Peer Reviewer Openness Initiative started in 2017, where we would only review papers that share data and code (or explain why that is not possible) www.opennessinitiative.org/the-initiati...
Now, funders and journals are requiring it.
hurrah! a new preprint*! weee have DAGs! we have Total Survey Error**! WE have MrP (rebranded as RPP)! We have cool plots showing how even high quality random samples can benefit from a good weighting model! What else do you want?!

The Academic Wheel of Privilege showing the 24 socio-cultural identities. The 24 socio-cultural identity types span six sectors: health and wellbeing, society, culture and communication, gender and sexuality, education and career, living arrangements and lastly childhood and development. These identity types are shown as circles connected to three concentric rings (outer, middle and inner) of “identity” circles with increasing privilege as you go towards the centre.
Out now!

If you regularly create plots in R, the tidyplots package is definitely worth exploring.
Today, I released a new module in the Statistics Globe Hub that explains how to use tidyplots in R.

Wild that the top sociology journal doesn't require computational replication or open data.
Interactive resources With the power of OJS and Quarto, I’ve created a few interactive websites to illustrate trickier statistical concepts when teaching. Check them out (and adapt and copy as much as you want!) With links to three different websites (accessible at the main link in the post)
Finally got around to adding fancy links to my different interactive teaching websites for showing things like p-hacking, p-value interpretations, and (still-in-draft-form) DAGs at www.andrewheiss.com/teaching/ #rstats #QuartoPub #statsky
Screenshot showing silicon sample responses to a question about increased gun laws in Australia. There are three question variants, and four parties - the main result is that 5.2 tends to have higher levels of support for restrictions than 5.4, especially for right wing parties.
I was really surprised at how different the silicon sample results were between GPT-5.2 and 5.4. Light red is 5.2 and dark red is 5.4 and it's an Australian-setting so we're seeing big differences for right-wing parties.
A very nice to initiative where you can post your DAG: opencausal.org
And because they're machine readable, they're much easier to search.
"No Manipulation, No Causation"? She's crying because of her height. How to intervene on height doesn't matter. Height clearly causes her crying. Maybe studying it isn't useful, but utility is not ontology.
Over the weekend, I started collecting/organizing a list of cool #rstats skills for LLMs at github.com/christopherk.... Please open an issue or PR in any awesome additions you see!

Ah, glad you liked it. I use it in my teaching as well and often feel grateful for the wonderful illustrations that @rpsychologist.com has done over the years!
I'm looking for a cite on the potential of hidden moderators as responsible for failed replications. This was a regular dialog in peak replication crisis, but can't find/recall a specific cite arguing or laying out this possibility. Maybe a perspectives piece?
Now out in the American Sociological Review
We present the first large-scale assessment of the structure and evolution of temporalities expressed in U.S. climate change news coverage (2000 to 2021). For this, we analyzed more than 23,000 statements about climate change effects and actions. 🧵 1/

A minimalist isometric 3D illustration on a dark background showing a central glowing cube labeled ".dotfiles" with a git icon. Glowing neon lines radiate from the cube to icons representing "Shell Config," "Editor & Tooling," and "AI Agents (Claude & OpenCode)." A sidebar labeled "Skills Marketplace" displays specialized icons for R, Shiny, Quarto, and writing voices, illustrating a unified development environment.
My dotfiles now manage my AI coding agents 🤖 Same instructions for Claude Code and OpenCode, symlinked from one repo. Here's how I set it up: https://drmo.site/CCrf37

in my decision making class I run a version of The Endowment Effect that goes like this:
When students come in, sealed envelopes are waiting on their chair-arms.
The main slide that greets them says 'NO TOUCHING'
The critique of unmeasured confounding is often levied in a lazy/broad way. It is trivially true in any observational study. But if the critic can't think of a plausible such confounder and posit a reasonable direction/magnitude of its bias then they're not doing productive science.
All your p-values are wrong

Javascript code for a noncentral t cdf produced by Claude. It is simply a call to the normal CDF, which is not correct (though will be a decent approximation with large N).
I've been testing Claude to see how well it can "vibe out" a stat. power app that I've already coded completely myself - so I know what I want. It mostly gets things right with animations (those are easily verifiable) but looking into the backend stats code is nightmare inducing (see pic).

An illustration of selection on significance for a test with 50% power
I wrote a short blog post that describes selection on significance in plain language and then proposes and criticizes two alternatives (selection on precision and registered reports). This is me working through my thoughts online, so feedback is very welcome.
