#statstab #490 Effect size for difference between variances / Levene's test

Thoughts: Always found it odd that we ignore heterogeneity for inference. We treat it like a "error".

Effect size for difference between variances / Levene's test

I have tested a hypothesis of equal variances (using Levene's test), and would like to report an effect size alongside the significance test. Unfortunately, I cannot seem to find any references to ...

#statstab #489 On the performance of the Neyman Allocation with small pilots

Thoughts: If you know your treatment condition will have larger variance you can optimise your sample size.

Thoughts: If you use Welch's t, you must report Hedge's G_av. I think {effectsize} has it.

A quotation from Thoreau

If a man does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer. Let him step to the music which he hears, however measured or far away.

Henry David Thoreau (1817-1862) American philosopher and writer
Walden; or, Life in the Woods, ch. 18 β€œConclusion” (1854)

Showing something is NOT the case is much harder than showing it is, but Nishant painstakingly went through every possible analysis loophole to show this. Well done Nishant! For everyone interested in #clustering, #heterogeneity, #classification and #modelling!

Assumption Checking Prevents Assumption Hacking in Multiverse Meta-Analyses - Replicability-Index

In a nutshell Statistical methods for meta-analyses make different assumptions. For this reason, different methods can produce different results with the same data. Meta-analysts often struggle to make sense of these inconsistent results. A simple solution to this problem is to test testable assumptions. Key assumptions that influence results are publication bias and heterogeneity of

How Scrutiny and Iteration Made Behavioral Economics Better https://www.chicagobooth.edu/review/how-scrutiny-iteration-made-behavioral-economics-better
"However, direct #replicability should not be confused with #generalizability or universality. While the basic patterns of behavior documented in the original experiments reliably show up in subsequent replications, their magnitudes can vary substantially across contexts. Loss aversion might be stronger in some settings than in others. Understanding this variation has become a central focus of contemporary behavioral economics research. Rather than viewing such #heterogeneity as a challenge to the field’s foundations, researchers increasingly see it as a source of insight into the underlying psychological mechanisms driving behavioral anomalies."
