It has been an amazing experience to be President of @improvingpsych.org for the past year. There aren't many societies that would engage early career researchers in leadership, but SIPS is very special 🧡✨

📣 PSA I've been wanting to say for a while.

Not everyone is an expert programmer or coder, and that's okay. People can still do good, reproducible research without using the fanciest methods or the coolest tools.

Low tech tools ≠ You can't do good work

Also, some helpful context is that archiving pre-prints and creating DOIs costs $$$!

If you would like to help offset the cost of keeping this resource that you use running, but don't want to volunteer, another way to support is donating! Either personally or by getting your library involved!

I often need to filter data in #rstats based on many variables. The dplyr::if_any() and dplyr::if_all() functions are really handy for this.

More examples here: cghlewis.github.io/data-wrangli...

library(tidyverse)

# Review the data (df). Missing data is denoted by “MR”.

df

# A tibble: 6 x 6
id form var1 var2 var3 var4
<dbl> <chr> <chr> <chr> <chr> <chr>
1 10 "a" 3 4 3 3
2 11 "b" 3 MR 2 4
3 12 "b" 1 3 1 MR
4 13 "" MR MR MR MR
5 14 "" MR MR MR MR
6 15 "" 1 2 3 MR

# (01) Only keep rows where respondent has missing responses for AT LEAST ONE variable (var1:var4).

df %>%
filter(if_any(var1:var4, ~ . == "MR"))

# A tibble: 5 x 6
id form var1 var2 var3 var4
<dbl> <chr> <chr> <chr> <chr> <chr>
1 11 "b" 3 MR 2 4
2 12 "b" 1 3 1 MR
3 13 "" MR MR MR MR
4 14 "" MR MR MR MR
5 15 "" 1 2 3 MR

# (02) Only keep rows where respondent has missing responses for ALL variables (var1:var4).

df %>%
filter(if_all(var1:var4, ~ . == "MR"))

# A tibble: 2 x 6
id form var1 var2 var3 var4
<dbl> <chr> <chr> <chr> <chr> <chr>
1 13 "" MR MR MR MR
2 14 "" MR MR MR MR

# (03) Remove rows where respondent has missing responses for ALL variables (var1:var4).

df %>%
filter(!if_all(var1:var4, ~ . == "MR"))

# A tibble: 4 x 6
id form var1 var2 var3 var4
<dbl> <chr> <chr> <chr> <chr> <chr>
1 10 "a" 3 4 3 3
2 11 "b" 3 MR 2 4

Help request. Qualtrics question:

Need a script that would download surveys (.QSF/.DOCX) and their data (.CSV/.SAV) from a Qualtrics account.
I have hundreds.
I remember someone posting a script they did a while back.

Know a solution?
What's the easiest way to go about it?

Second, beyond career implications, doing open science & especially replications often comes with immense emotional burden & affects mental health. Ongoing harsh criticism, suspicion, & hostility, from senior scholars with immense power in the field, isn't something people normally want or look for.

This is good advice: "Whenever possible, avoid learning in isolation. And once you have given yourself permission to seek help, the next step is to choose carefully where that help will come from." It's also why I post and blog about statistics. Those are part of how I learn along with others.

In today's article, learn how a chance discussion with the chair of Harvard’s statistics department changed everything about how I think about learning statistics.
