@selzero So psyched about this development.

And yes, the irony is delicious

@lakens @tomhardwicke
Excellent, although one thing that has always bothered me, honestly, is that N, p, and d (or r, if you prefer) are basically determined by a single equation. So if you know two, you know the third.

This is actually consistent with Fischer's original interpretation of the p value (which he regarded as more or less parallel to effect size). So calling for not using p values is silly, and reporting p without d or r is redundant, but easier for the reader!

In this day and age, it seems anything, no matter how outrageous, is supported by a third of the population....

New paper by @tomhardwicke and colleagues looks at journal recommendations for statistical reporting guidelines. https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/00031305.2022.2143897 Good to see recommendations to use p-values are still going strong - the often weak criticisms against them seem not to convince journal editors.

Are there recommendations for reporting of effect sizes?

That having been said, I maintain my allegiance to team Snuffeluffagus!

Throwing this out into the ether, but, fellow Mastodonites, is there any way to get a timeline for another mastodon instance?

I can see my own local timeline, and the timeline across all instances, but I can't find a way to follow an instance rather than just one specific user on an instance.

Am I missing something?

And not to be opaque, I'm interested in what the mathstodon.xyz people are saying, but also sciences.social, etc...

@dapostrophe
A. What third party app?
B. There is also (for me) the principle of not wanting to support someone monitizing hate speech…
@dapostrophe
Ditto. But I do appreciate no ads and no trolls…
