Very sorry to hear of Cormac McCarthy's death. I've been wrestling with his work my entire adult life and I suspect I always will. I'm glad I got to write about the kindness he showed me when we met. The last paragraph of The Road is one of my favorite things ever written.
BREAKING: White House issues new policy that will require, by 2026, all federally-funded research results to be freely available to public without delay, ending longstanding ability of journals to paywall results for up to 1 year. Coverage coming on @ScienceInsider.
Wonderful, accessible (even to my simple brain!) paper on scientific fraud by @lastpositivist (pub'd in the Royal Institute of Philosophy Supplements). Why do scientists—ostensibly truth-seekers—commit fraud? https://t.co/XllEl5t4GM
@kareem_carr Amateur take incoming: Is it more (possibly semantically) correct to say the applications of p-values have devalued their descriptive ability? I.e. p-values contain contextually useful info, but are simply often misapplied/misinterpreted but the concept/quantity remains useful
@statsepi The following should (emphasis 'should') work in R's grep to capture solo 1's or 1's followed by non-numerics (e.g. catches '1+6', '1c3', but not '12')
"^1\\b|1\\W+"
If you only want to capture 1's and 1's followed by +'s
"^1\\b|1\\++"
@ChelseaParlett An ethics course would be so important! Data science/ML ethics seem so underappreciated but necessary to be an analyst in good faith in any industry
@trvrb@nataliexdean @jjcherian It is a mark of respect for someone's scientific work to take it seriously enough to look hard for flaws. Of course this can be done politely and in the case of trainees supportively, etc. It's not a fight, it's a process of strengthening inference.
I recently found a massive error in one of my published papers. The main finding was the result of a programming bug and was, in fact, completely untrue. THREAD with the very short version below, essay with the full description here: https://t.co/edk1zq1jSm
