I agree with a lot of the points raised here. I think many of the problems with spreadsheets are due to the software rather than the users. As mentioned in the article, its hard to slowly iterate from a small manageable spreadsheet to an la

This variant (better known as the epsilon variant) is no longer even classifed as a variant of concern by the WHO [1]. It seems that was likely because it is being dominated by the delta variant. [1] https://www.who.int/en&#

Well, that's not exactly what is happening here. Devices will still work after the internet connection stops, books will still be readable, and it will still be possible to load books through USB (or in some cases WiFi). The free cellu

This is a great interfact and perfect for learning the IPA system (perhaps as part of a linguistics course?). It would be nice to extend this, perhaps on a different page, to examples from specific languages. That would fill in some missing

You are correct that there has not been time to do a thorough study of the differences between natural infection and the response to a vaccine. It is not crazy to want to wait a bit if you were recently infected. However, there are good rea

I strongly suspect that the U.S. will largely return to some version of 'normal' by the end of the summer at the latest. No required masks, minimal social distancing, and a return to pre-pandemic levels of domestic travel. Under t

I agree with the general point in this article, but I think aiming the problem at the "API" versus a download button is slightly missing the culprit. I don't mind an API that allows me to easily request the entire dataset I w

Yes, that's entirely possible. My comment was made keeping in mind that the scientific norm is to have a single preregistration for a single experiment. If a researcher wants to test N hypothesis, using an appropriate p-value correctio

by laGrenouille 6y ago
The idea is that preregistration is done publicly, so a reviewer of a paper could easily see that you have registered multiple analyses and reject the research based on this.

I don’t think that’s what the report is saying: The 1.5% is used to determine how long the trial will take to reach the required number of cases. Not sure what prior they were using, but my guess is that it’s conservative.

Yes, I was confused about that as well. I think that the results are given as (mean +/- sd) rather than (mean +/- SE), though I do not understand why. Is that common in any field? I have not seen it in the computational social sci

From a Bayesian perspective, it’s not entirely accurate to say that there is the same relationship between ridge/Gaussian-prior and lasso/Laplacian-prior. In the first case, ridge regression yields a "proper" Bayesian es
