New paper by @Lester_Domes and me. We discuss why uniformity is central to the validity of P-values and why some Bayesian variants don’t meet this, other units for S-values besides base-2 logs, and relation of S-values to other stat measures of information

My notes from teaching this year’s module on ‘inverse problems & learning from data’. Mainly inverse problems view but tried to also link to ML, stat etc. Some matrix calc, splines with physics-informed regularisation, tiny bit of neural nets etc in there… https://t.co/JNoL0FRK1H

Imagine consistent/intense rage bait being one of the biggest threats to people’s health assuming this study is methodologically/statistically sound (a giant assumption to make) and that what it’s attempting to infer is actually true

SCIENCE: Getting angry 'even for just a few minutes' can change the function of blood vessels, 'which may make heart attacks and strokes more likely', according to a study published by New Scientist.

The irony being he then spent the end of his career trying to make sure that was the case. You either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain.

I’m excited to announce my new book FOOD INTELLIGENCE coauthored with brilliant journalist @juliaoftoronto! Cutting through the confusion about diet & health, #FoodIntelligence describes the fascinating science of how food both nourishes and harms us. https://t.co/xQHklDYVhy

@learnfromerror @david_colquhoun @vamrhein @dailyzad Most readers rely on common word meanings to understand results, and so mistake "statistical significance" for practical importance. Compatibility is a logically weaker term which suggests nothing about importance. For details see Rafi-Greenland and

After 21 years at my dream job, I’m very sad to announce my early retirement from the National Institutes of Health. My life’s work has been to scientifically study how our food environment affects what we eat, and how what we eat affects our physiology. Lately, I’ve focused on

@umichkim Just gonna note that imo the work posted is based on this prior work and the behind the scenes work that went into it but has not credited this appropriately for reasons having nothing to do with proper citation practices

#stats reporting idea: I was reading Greenland et al. (2016) and they mention reporting p-values for effects of interest (as compatibility measures) alongside the null. Seems like an interesting idea. Plot is for 0, .1, .3, .5. https://t.co/BESAgXUMZX
