Terrible stuff happening in downtown Nashville

[The Tennessee Holler @TheTNHoller]

WATCH: “There were ICE raids at the bars in downtown Nashville.”

Singer Monte Mader says ICE agents were raiding bars on Broadway unlawfully — going after cooks, NOT criminals — and offers a plausible theory for why they wear masks.

One of the most common questions I get when talking about why you need to include the outcome in your imputation model is whether this is “double dipping” or “data leakage” — if this is you, what would convince you that this is not a concern?

We have a new preprint. In short: separate FDR for positive/negative effects avoids direction errors with 2-tailed tests. More power with adaptive BKY (vs BH). But visualization software needs asymmetric thresholds. w/@afni_pt, @ten_photos & Chris Rorden https://t.co/EyYDWSA9Nz
