@TAH_Sci @MaartenvSmeden I agree, although I take more of a pragmatic Bayesian viewpoint in that we want to estimate a complex model as accurately as possible (in terms of prediction & variable selection) so we need shrinkage to avoid overfitting, but there are limits to what shrinkage can do.

[Sara van Erp @SaravanErp]

@ESteyerberg @MaartenvSmeden I would say this is exactly the small n, large p situation where we need to use shrinkage to be able to estimate the model. How well we can do that is the interesting question I try to answer in the paper.

Join the BMS-Aned Fall meeting where I'll be talking about Bayesian shrinkage methods:

[BMS-ANed @BMS_ANed]

BMS-Aned Fall meeting: Friday October, 7th with @MaartenvSmeden, @SaravanErp and @ErikVanZwet on "Shinkage methods: novel perspectives and applications". Registration is open: https://t.co/ewoYVgZ8Ld

@DarinaPetrov No, I haven't used kanban before but got inspired by this blogpost: https://t.co/tPFHvXZjAU

[Sara van Erp @SaravanErp]

@DarinaPetrov But the basic setup is: I make notes throughout the day in a daily note and review & transfer relevant ones to permanent notes (based on “How to take smart notes). I have a kanban note for all my research projects & tag notes according to projects.

[Sara van Erp @SaravanErp]

@DarinaPetrov That’s right! I actually recently discovered the usefulness of plugins such as dataview and kanban which made me reorganise my whole system. Thinking of sharing this more extensively once I’ve spend some time working like this and made sure it’s useful. ->

@cjvanlissa @UniUtrecht @TilburgU @OpenSciUtrecht Congratulations! We will miss you in Utrecht though!

[Sara van Erp @SaravanErp]

@hioberman @PhDVoice @WriteThatPhD @AcademicChatter Obsidian! I just started a new workflow, including the use of Kanban boards. Would be happy to show you some time if you like

Recording from today's excellent OWYS session on Selection of Priors in Bayesian SEM is online.

Hoping you enjoy watching!

Thanks to our speakers @winterstat, Milica Miočević and Mauricio Garnier-Villarreal and great discussant @SaravanErp!

This is the final week to submit your abstract for the International Conference on Multilevel Analysis in Utrecht! https://t.co/sDDTboeihG

[Sara van Erp @SaravanErp]

@mariushafstad Unfortunately we have not planned to record anything so we do not have the necessary permissions to do so.

[Sara van Erp @SaravanErp]

Excited for the SEM conference that is starting today with a workshop by Yves Rosseel on SEM with lavaan and one by me on Bayesian SEM! You can still follow online without registration via the Zoom link here: https://t.co/jjfU6YDKvQ

[Sara van Erp @SaravanErp]

@RobinAWester @EikoFried @AmirSariaslan @SachaEpskamp Yes, the more the merrier! :)

[Sara van Erp @SaravanErp]

The conference "SEM: New Developments and Applications" starts next week. Registration to attend live is closed, but everyone who is interested can follow online (workshops and/or presentations)! Check out the program here: https://t.co/jjfU6YDKvQ

[Sara van Erp @SaravanErp]

@GordonJForbes @Kim_De_Roover You can simply use the Zoom link, no need to register. We have not planned on recording any talks, unfortunately.

[Sara van Erp @SaravanErp]

@EikoFried @AmirSariaslan @SachaEpskamp You can join via the Zoom link on the website. This should work once the conference starts.

[Sara van Erp @SaravanErp]

@EikoFried @AmirSariaslan @SachaEpskamp Thanks for letting me know; I have requested this to be changed on the website. Apologies @SachaEpskamp !
