🚨 REPLICATION REPORT UPDATE: One year ago, a tweet by John Holbein alerted me, @ollefolke.bsky.social, and @jopieboy.bsky.social to a paper with a shocking result about Sweden’s law criminalizing the purchase of sex.🧵

I reviewed a paper recently. It was flawed & rejected. It later appeared unchanged in another journal.
So how is peer review a “gold standard”?
You can’t have a gold standard if people can’t tell the difference between gold and bauxite..

I’m happy to share that our sequence analysis “didactic” paper is now published!
I think this method is powerful, flexible and solves the persistent challenge of characterizing variables that unfold over time (& produces great graphics).
Applied examples below.

Using sequence and cluster analysis to characterize variables that unfold over time: implementation and practical considerations for epidemiologists
Abstract. Characterizing longitudinal trajectories of variables that unfold over time (e.g. social, health or environmental variables) is a persistent chal

Just been reading this great blog post by @dingdingpeng.the100.ci on accessible technical writing. Lots of good advice (some of which I knew, some was new to me) clearly laid out in one handy place!

Writing about technical topics in an accessible manner
A wise man – I’m quite sure it was Brian Wansink – once pointed out that it is impossible to both read and write a lot. So, maybe reading a post about how to write just steals time from the more urgen...

The importance of stupidity in scientific research
I recently saw an old friend for the first time in many years. We had been Ph.D. students at the same time, both studying science, although in different areas. She later dropped out of graduate school...

Methods question: I'm estimating an effect of a binary IV on a continuous DV.
Let's say there are 6 equally plausible model specifications that I can run. I run the 6 specifications and 4 out of the 6 specifications have p<0.05. The other two are not significant, but are in the same direction...

Does #randomization ensures balance of risk factors between groups? Consider this:
In Denmark 860 individuals were randomly allocated to either intervention or control. Individuals were unaware of their allocation. No intervention took place. Mortality was higher in the intervention group (p=0.003)
