"Always plot your data" -- an example of using descriptives *before* measuring capability of an instrument. We intend to have regular posts demonstrating how JASP can be useful for quality control and lean six sigma. www.jasp-services.com/jasp-for-qua...

We just started a website highlighting articles that would make good candidates for a Robustness Report. 🌐 Check out the website: www.journalofrobustnessreports.org 📄 Read our first blog post: www.journalofrobustnessreports.org/inaugural-po...

We built the openESM database: ▶️60 openly available experience sampling datasets (16K+ participants, 740K+ obs.) in one place ▶️Harmonized (meta-)data, fully open-source software ▶️Filter & search all data, simply download via R/Python Find out more: 🌐 openesmdata.org 📝 doi.org/10.31234/osf...

Simulation studies have a conflict of interest problem. The same team: - develops a new method - designs a simulation study to evaluate it However, the new method has to show good performance to get published. We propose living synthetic benchmarks to address the issue (doi.org/10.48550/arX...).

New blog post! Why companies win by investing in open-source software. With zebra-painted cows, of course. www.jasp-services.com/why-companie...

We are pleased to have @fbartos.bsky.social join us today, Tuesday, September 30th, 11am (EST) to talk about Bayesian Hypothesis testing! This is followed by a workshop on using JASP for statistics around 12:10pm. The zoom is open to public with details in the flyer! @PsychPrinceton

Simonsohn has now posted a blog response to our recent paper about the poor statistical properties of the P curve. @clintin.bsky.social and I are finishing up a less-technical paper that will serve as a response. But I wanted to address a meta-issue *around* this that may clarify some things. 1/x

Sage created a 44-second promo video for our book "Discovering Statistics Using JASP". Blog post: jasp-stats.org/2025/09/24/d... The video itself: www.youtube.com/watch?v=MP0N...

Can anyone point me to the simulation studies showing that p-curve performs well under realistic conditions? And any done by someone else than pcurve authors? As far as I know, p-curve fails horrendously as long as any heterogeneity is involved... doi.org/10.1177/1745... doi.org/10.1002/jrsm...

We released two preprints describing the JASP Meta-Analytic functionality in detail. Meta-Analysis with JASP, Part I: Classical Approaches (arxiv.org/abs/2509.09845) Meta-Analysis with JASP, Part II: Bayesian Approaches (arxiv.org/abs/2509.09850)

Z-curve plot is a new visual model fit diagnostic for #metaanalysis with an emphasis on #publicationbias. In contrast to funnel plots, z-curve plots - visualize the distribution of z-statistics (where bias usually occurs) - compare the fit of multiple models simultaneously

New paper for anyone working with data: Better data viz - for free, in few clicks. Below, all N = 111, M = 0.04, SD = 0.27. One-sided t-tests vs. 0 yield: t(110) = 1.67, p = .049. Use raincloud plots. Or risk wrong conclusions! Plot w/ @jaspstats.bsky.social today! 🧪 📊 #PsychSciSky #StatsSky 🧵👇

Fair coins tend to land on the same side they started: evidence from 350,757 flips. That's the title of our paper summarizing ~650 hours of coin-tossing experimentation just published in the Journal of the American Statistical Association. doi.org/10.1080/0162...

It is a bit funny seing many people outraged about p-curve, after the well deserved critique by Moorey, but completely unfazed about the still dominant practice of using funnel plots and fail-safe n to claim absence of publication bias. With common defense "that’s how other studies did it before"...

Paper drop, for anyone interested in #metascience, #statistics, or #metaanalysis! @clintin.bsky.social and I show in a new paper in JASA that the P-curve, a popular forensic meta-analysis method, has deeply undesirable statistical properties. www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.... 1/?

I'm excited that our preregistration template for simulation studies is now available on OSF! See below for a brief interview with the Center for Open Science about the template and why we created it..

@fbartos.bsky.social @maxmaier.bsky.social‬ & EJ Wagenmakers have extended RoBMA with 3-level publication bias-adjusted model-averaged meta-regression models in R along with the usual code-free and intuitive @jaspstats.bsky.social implementation. Nerdy details are osf.io/preprints/ps...

The new version of JASP (0.95) containing another significant update to the Meta-Analysis module is out. You can perform state-of-the-art Bayesian publication bias-adjusted meta-regression in only a few clicks. A couple of additional clicks get you publication-ready figures!

We finally extended robust Bayesian meta-analysis to multilevel settings. Now, you can fit 3-level publication bias-adjusted model-averaged meta-regression models in R (and in about a week in @jaspstats.bsky.social too!)

Martin Hayden from LearnSixSigma.co.uk shares his experience of using JASP for quality control -- a free and open-source statistical software for which we offer enterprise-level services. Check it out, maybe you will switch to using @jaspstats.bsky.social too!

Just a reminder that #ESMARConf2025 is starting tomorrow! This is a free online conference about evidence synthesis and meta-analysis using #Rstats. Further details can be found here: esmarconf.org/2025/

I will teach my advanced #MetaAnalysis course this year (September 24-26, 2025): www.wvbauer.com/doku.php/cou... Since my regular meta-analysis course is also overdue, I decided to extend the advanced course by an extra day to cover the standard methods more thoroughly.

A recently published meta-analysis in Nature Human Behaviour "found evidence supporting the efficacy of social comparison as a behaviour change technique in shaping behaviour in the desired direction". I was curious, so I re-analyzed the manuscript, but the funnel plots below say it all.

We started a company to provide enterprise-level support for open-source statistical software @jaspstats.bsky.social . Our website with the mission and offers just went online! Is your business paying large licensing fees for statistical software? Are you looking for a change? Check it out!

Does ChatGPT help with students' learning performance, learning perception, and higher-order thinking? We re-analyzed a recently published meta-analysis and found that the original conclusion is almost entirely driven by publication bias.

Looking for recommendations to finish my #statistics #mugs collection!

The Journal of Robustness Reports is here. Diamond open access. A model for #openscience and #metascience. @balazsaczel.bsky.social scipost.org/JRobustRep.0... 🧪

We are live! Introducing the "Journal of Robustness Reports" – a Diamond Open-Access journal dedicated to publishing short reanalyses of empirical findings. Check out our website and blog post about the journal: 🌐 scipost.org/JRobustRep 📄 www.bayesianspectacles.org/introducing-...

Love the idea scipost.org/JRobustRep "We hope that the Journal of Robustness Reports will help make reanalyses of published findings the norm across the empirical sciences." #diamondOA scipost.org/JRobustRep/a... @fbartos.bsky.social @balazsaczel.bsky.social @ejwagenmakers.bsky.social

The upcoming version of @jaspstats.bsky.social is gonna feature an even better version of the meta-analysis module. For example, the forest plot will allow aggregating effect size estimate information with just a couple click!

Another improvement to the RoBMA package on it's way to CRAN: Bayesian model-averaged binomial-normal meta-regression models. The next update will bring various random effects and multilevel hierarchical models to adjust for various dependencies between studies.

There is a major improvement to the RoBMA package. Model structure and parameters can be estimated within a single MCMC yielding a tremendous speedup! A Bayesian publication bias model-averaged meta-regression can be estimated in less than a minute now! (down from 30min)

The new JASP (@jaspstats.bsky.social) version containing the updated Meta-Analysis module and many other improvements is out now!

Video of the Ig Nobel Face-to-Face meeting, which allowed time for discussion. I'm talking about our 350,757 coin flips. Also features the UvA work on drunken worms. improbable.com/2024/12/03/i...

The Raincloud Quartet (new pre-print) All N = 111, M = 0.04, SD = 0.27. One-sided t-tests vs. 0 yield: t(110) = 1.67, p = .049. Only raincloud plots reveal the qualitative differences, preventing the drawing of inappropriate conclusions. How did we create the quartet? Where are data & code? 🧵👇
