Monday one of my doctoral students successfully defended his dissertation! Tuesday my undergrads got a third new biography up on #Wikipedia. Today another of my doctoral students successfully defended her dissertation proposal. End of the semester: So proud. So tired. Let the rest of the grading begin!

Not the biggest thing, jut but seems a tiny bit easier to process.
Effective communication of standard errors and confidence intervals

When reporting estimates and associated standard errors (ses) or confidence intervals (CIs), the standard formats, “estimate (se)” and “estimate (95% CI: [

New publication! :D This project was an international collaboration between Eastern Kentucky University and the Universidad de Oviedo.

When reading in English, bilingual children from USA focus on how the words sound (phonology) while bilingual children from Spain focus on how the words are spelled (orthography). Both groups are able to read but they do so differently.

If you see a small p-value or a large separation in confidence intervals, you may assume that an effect is reliable. But overly simple reporting may be hiding serious conclusion-altering errors.

Here are some example scenarios:

Invalid Conclusions Built on Statistical Errors

When you see p = 0.003 or a 95% confidence interval of , you might assume a certain clarity and definitiveness. A null effect is very unlikely to yield those results, right? But be careful! Such overly simple reporting of p-values, confidence intervals, Bayes factors, or any statistical estimate could hide critical conclusion-flipping errors in…
