This smells distinctly like collider bias and/or selection bias and/or regression to the mean... You simply can't select teen prodigies, and world class athletes rom databases, and go run regressions without serious consideration of the selection process!

"How can funders avoid crossing the Szilard point?" The Szilard point is "the threshold at which the total cost of competing for a grant equals (or surpasses) the value of the available funding."

I've collected a set of papers and articles that discuss errors in research due to software errors, in a GitHub repo: github.com/danielskatz/.... I think this could be a useful resource for many purposes, and additional contributions are welcome.

🚨 Job alert 🚨 Postdoc position in ecological forecasting 📈 as part of the Horizon Europe OSCARS call. The postdoc will be based in lovely Sevilla (fantastic place to live) and will include working closely with several European forecasting projects. Apply by Dec 11! 🌎🧪 globalchangeeco.com/jobs

Two years ago we got together in a beautiful mountain to learn and develop #rstats packages for ecology After {labeleR} (ecologyr.github.io/labeleR/) and {BlueCarbon} (ecologyr.github.io/BlueCarbon/), {mappestRisk} is now officially out! See thread by lead author @dario-ssm.bsky.social 👇

The default prior for the intercept in both {rstanarm} and {brms} are very wide. Counterintuitively - being on the logit scale, this is actually translates to a **strong** prior that p(y=1) is near 1 or near 0. Always check your priors! #rstats

We are hiring: 4 PhD Positions in Ecology / Data Science and one Ecological Data Scientist. For more information, see www.uni-regensburg.de/universitaet...

To be effective, data science agents need to be able to read plots reliably. @sara-altman.bsky.social and I wrote about some concerning findings on LLMs' ability to interpret plots when the content contradicts their expectations on the @posit.co blog. posit.co/blog/introdu...

Important thread 🧵 👇🏼

Are you involved in ecological forecasting in Europe? We’re mapping forecasting applications across the continent — from SDMs to observatories with predictive potential. Our goal: make EU forecasting more connected and identify both immediate and long-term forecasting potential.

Well now I'm pondering - what is the best Introductory Biostats book out there that folk have had success with. I used to like Whitlock & Schluter, but have come to find it too test-based and not enough thinking-based (to use a term of art?).

There are a lot of things I agree with in Bill Gates' new climate memo, but I think it sets up a false dichotomy between reducing emissions and helping the world's poorest. I've put together a piece with my thoughts over at TCB:

Enabling options for review: bioRxiv authors now have the option to send their preprints directly to @qedscience.bsky.social , an authors-centered AI review platform, for automated feedback on their paper. openrxiv.org/enabling-rev... #OpenScience #Preprints #openrxiv #qedscience #biorxiv

The detectCores() apocalypse is creeping up on us 👻🐛 As more people are getting access to 128+ CPU cores, code spinning up parallel cluster with detectCores() workers fails - not enough #RStats connections available Friends, do *not* default to detectCores(), bc www.jottr.org/2022/12/05/a...

The next @peercommunityin.bsky.social seminar by @simine.com looks interesting peercommunityin.org/pci-webinar-...

I regularly get derailed when someone tries to benchmark clustering methods, trying the find the "best" one or the one that agrees with "ground truth". Which clustering of the below animals is the best or the true one? By row, or by column?

I find there's a huge mismatch between the standard advice that people give about scientific conference talks, and how people actually give talks. So I picked out the most important pieces of advice that are most often ignored. 🧪

Thank you @hormiga.bsky.social for writing this book. Beyond learning what may be right/wrong with current practices and many new tips, it makes you think throughout what kind of teacher you want to be and how to get there. Highly recommend press.uchicago.edu/ucp/books/bo... #teaching #AcademicSky

Interesting. 2 lessons here: 1. Don't use LLM output code uncritically, even if it runs smoothly 2. As developers we can protect our #rstats code from such problems e.g. with rlang.r-lib.org/reference/ch...
