Also ofc see this if you want to read more on the confusion between statistical power (P(test rejects H0|H0 is false)) and Positive Predictive Value (P(H0 is false|test rejects H0)).

I see our paper is getting buzz!
Important takeaway: The semantic space model is more informative than the others; you can't discover what you don't measure. Amusement, cute, wonder, pride--all associated with post sharing. It's not just about anger etc.

Finally fixed my app that plots null and alternative distributions and power for an independent t-test shiny.ieis.tue.nl/d_p_power/. I use this a lot in education to 1) teach that p values are uniformly distributed if there is no effect 1/5
