In the first seven days since I launched this new game, almost ten thousand people from 82 countries have played it. (Top cities so far: New York City, Zurich, Toronto, Chicago, Berlin, Vienna, Stockholm)

What topics would you like me to add next?

Proposal for how to fix family wise error rates.

For every uncorrected p value you must add an extra letter to the claim.

This fall I will have a blind student in my coding class for the first time. Do any other instructors or visually impaired coders have advice beyond making sure my book has useful alt-text for the images? #rstats #accessibility

We’re lucky at Glasgow Psychology as we have a bequest fund we can apply to. Not a specific amount but have to apply / make the case for the conference. Priority goes to people who haven’t been awarded it within a couple of years if it’s reaching the yearly limit.

Our argument is that you *can* embed reproducible research skills in every degree; you just need the right support in place. Your students might just surprise you in what they're capable of learning and valuing.

The motivation behind our chapter was that people can be dismissive for how we teach R and data skills when our undergraduate degree is 4 years with high entry requirements. However, that breaks down when we teach those skills to postgraduate conversion students over two 10-week courses.

Our contribution to an upcoming book on teaching open science was "how to teach reproducible research". There are plenty of lesson plans or individual courses out there but less on how you can build skills across a whole degree.

Ever stared at a table of regression coefficients & wondered what you're doing with your life?

Very excited to share this gentle introduction to another way of making sense of statistical models (w @vincentab.bsky.social)
Preprint: doi.org/10.31234/osf...
Website: j-rohrer.github.io/marginal-psy...
Models as Prediction Machines: How to Convert Confusing Coefficients into Clear Quantities Abstract Psychological researchers usually make sense of regression models by interpreting coefficient estimates directly. This works well enough for simple linear models, but is more challenging for more complex models with, for example, categorical variables, interactions, non-linearities, and hierarchical structures. Here, we introduce an alternative approach to making sense of statistical models. The central idea is to abstract away from the mechanics of estimation, and to treat models as “counterfactual prediction machines,” which are subsequently queried to estimate quantities and conduct tests that matter substantively. This workflow is model-agnostic; it can be applied in a consistent fashion to draw causal or descriptive inference from a wide range of models. We illustrate how to implement this workflow with the marginaleffects package, which supports over 100 different classes of models in R and Python, and present two worked examples. These examples show how the workflow can be applied across designs (e.g., observational study, randomized experiment) to answer different research questions (e.g., associations, causal effects, effect heterogeneity) while facing various challenges (e.g., controlling for confounders in a flexible manner, modelling ordinal outcomes, and interpreting non-linear models). Figure illustrating model predictions. On the X-axis the predictor, annual gross income in Euro. On the Y-axis the outcome, predicted life satisfaction. A solid line marks the curve of predictions on which individual data points are marked as model-implied outcomes at incomes of interest. Comparing two such predictions gives us a comparison. We can also fit a tangent to the line of predictions, which illustrates the slope at any given point of the curve. A figure illustrating various ways to include age as a predictor in a model. On the x-axis age (predictor), on the y-axis the outcome (model-implied importance of friends, including confidence intervals). Illustrated are 1. age as a categorical predictor, resultings in the predictions bouncing around a lot with wide confidence intervals 2. age as a linear predictor, which forces a straight line through the data points that has a very tight confidence band and 3. age splines, which lies somewhere in between as it smoothly follows the data but has more uncertainty than the straight line.

TidyTuesday is a weekly social data project. All are welcome to participate! Please remember to share the code used to generate your results! TidyTuesday is organized by the Data Science Learning Community. Join our Slack for free online help with R and other data-related topics, or to participate in a data-related book club! How to Participate Data is posted to social media every Monday morning. Follow the instructions in the new post for how to download the data. Explore the data, watching out for interesting relationships. We would like to emphasize that you should not draw conclusions about causation in the data. Create a visualization, a model, a shiny app, or some other piece of data-science-related output, using R or another programming language. Share your output and the code used to generate it on social media with the #TidyTuesday hashtag.

Learned a bit of Gaelic for this week's #tidytuesday. There are many names and variations of names for "mountain", "hill", "peak", "point", etc. I used this site to help me classify them: cuhwc.org.uk/resources/me...

Code: jessjep.github.io/blog/posts/t...

#ggplot2 #dataviz
One chart shows the height distributions of Scottish Munros and Munro Tops by their Gaelic name (Stob, Carn, Beinn, Sgurr and Meall). Stobs are tallest, on average, but have a wide distribution of different heights. In comparison, mealls are the shortest and tend to all be of a similar height. The second chart shows the number of munros/munro tops by each name type. Beinns are most common and are usually munros rather than munro tops. Carns are second most common and are around 50% munros and 50% munro tops.

One of the best bits of advice I ever received was keeping a log of things you do over the year. It's invaluable for promotion applications and performance reviews as you will 100% forget cool stuff you did. At Glasgow, we have four criteria, so I log things down to make it easier later:
Screenshot from Notion for making a list of accomplishments for promotion applications and reviews. It shows objectives, feedback, and four promotion criteria.
