it does kinda suck that every pre-4.0.0 ggplot2 plot that set theme(base_size) will look different now

I'm in an earnest kinda mood. So it goes...

I find it hard to understand how finding the model that best captures your understanding of the data is somehow a bad use of your time.

Disagree. Even when you pay a hefty premium for insurance, it's best to never use it.

Also, my fondness for the self-deprecating humor aside, I don't like this take. Learning proper missing data techniques are never a waste of time.

The key part is that the value is negative, though -0.2 is a good starting point

Set `position = position_dodge(height = -0.2)` within the point-interval geom so that the vertical ordering in plot matches the vertical ordering in the key.

I’ve been invited to interesting Slack groups, I’ve received job offers, I’ve been invited to give presentations, and I’ve gotten a book deal.

@matthewbjane.bsky.social, thoughts on any of this?

Solomon Kurz @solomonkurz.bsky.social · 3d

I think we agree.

One *can* interpret sigma from y ~ group + some_covariate, but such a sigma is no longer the population pooled SD in the conventional sense, and is therefore not a great choice for a standardizer of a standardized mean difference (at least not in the typical sense).

In other words, sigma from y ~ group + some_covariate is no longer an estimator of the population pooled SD. It's just a statistical artifact at that point.

language is very difficult with character limits...

Solomon Kurz @solomonkurz.bsky.social · 3d

Thanks. I see what you mean, and should clarify that whereas I recognize that point, sigma from y ~ group is also an estimator of the population pooled SD. When I used the language of residual SD in the open post, I meant from covariates in addition to group.

Say more about 1. I don't follow. To my mind, it's counter to the logic behind Cohen's d.

In Ch 19 (nyu-cdsc.github.io/learningr/as...) of his 2nd edition, Kruschke used *residual* SD as a standardizer for group differences from a multilevel ANCOVA. Is there any precedent for using a *residual* SD as a standardizer for a standardized mean difference effect size? #RStats
