We’ve just published another video on HiTOP that tries to flesh out a bit more how the framework can be helpful in research: youtu.be/q0jOi_Nl1yo

We hope it’s useful, and are keen to hear any feedback

Thanks again so much to @tashtc.bsky.social for all of her hard work creating this video series ✨

When we measure personality multiple times in a study, does it matter if we ask people about their personality *in general* or *since the last time point*?

Turns out: yes!

We found differences in internal consistency, Ms, & SDs but not in the underlying constructs 🧵

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

Looked into this earlier. From what I've seen Hive doesn't train on paid customer content unless it's part of the business agreement between the customer + Hive. No way to know without seeing of the deal of course so your mileage may vary. But, I think open API means that scrapers can find content

I wanted to share my reasons why I think it is of paramount importance to attend a No King’s protest on October 18, and to make the case to everyone you know to do the same.

No Kings

As the president escalates his authoritarian power grab, the NO KINGS non-violent movement continues to rise stronger. We are united once again to remind the world: America has No Kings and the power ...

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

Citizens' Impeachment @citizensimpeachment.com · 1d

We're a veteran-founded and run operation. Even if we weren't we wouldn't tolerate treasonous actions by POTUS. (But let's be clear: that is ESPECIALLY noxious and intolerable to us!)

We are pro-democracy and pro-Constitution, which makes us anti-Trump.

Impeach, convict, remove. Have courage.
