Are you using mediation analysis? Take a look at this cool paper!
Even if the causal assumptions for mediation hold, statistical assumptions can fail. Features like skewed distributions or outliers can distort standard estimates. Our new paper details which data issues cause trouble and reviews methods built to handle them: dx.doi.org/10.1002/wics...

A simulated example illustrates the potential effect of a single outlier on mediation analysis. The left column shows data generated under the mediation model, while the right column further includes...

I finally got to adding the slides from the SIPS workshop to the OSF project. The GIF below would be an accurate depiction of me in the past days, but only if money were replaced by emails and to-do lists.

I don't care about claims for the link between causal inference knowledge and academic career success, but I sure hope that the arrow from lack of single-minded focus is as causal as it gets. It has to be, right? It's just a tiny arrow, there's nothing in between.

when trump and co say they're seizing control of research because of the reproducibility crisis, it's pretty similar to when they say they're enacting trans bathroom bans and sports bans because of violence and discrimination against women.

I think in part the higher education funding crisis and the LLM-teaching crisis actually strike at the same problem, which is that education doesn't work without a broad, society-wide sense that the *actual content* of education - not the credential - is valuable.

Data Colada has submitted a motion for sanction against Francesca Gino and her former lawyer team.
I hope the court rules in their favor. It will be a powerful message that sleuths can expose fake research without fearing legal consequences.

I’ve seen situations in which people try to correct the scientific record and then critics act like that was superfluous or just not the right way to use one’s energy because “science is self-correcting.”
