I think I understand what you mean. You're saying that relative to the 'typical individual', autistic brains weigh sensory inputs more heavily than their internal model. And that in schizotypal brains, relative to the…
I don't understand why they aren't trying to use multiple linear regression to control for the effects of how old SSD vs HDD are, or to use something like survival analysis? I thought this was a largely solved problem...
Well, my understanding is that we have not yet found any clear scientific method that will be consistently 'the one' to choose at any time. There are a few criteria that generally stand out, but a general method--no.…
Well that's a thorny question, now isn't it? I mean, if it was so clear what 'epistemologies' exist in any field, then there would be little need or interest in the study of philosophy and history of science, no? If it…
Well, there's a couple of things going on, right? One is whether we it's a bad idea to judge an entire mass of literature because of its epistemology and the second is whether the OP's claim that psychology has…
All things considered, although I'm in favor of Anthropic's suggestions, I'm surprised that they're not recommending more (nominally) advanced statistical methods. I wonder if this is because more advanced methods don't…
> The idea that median researchers are not intelligent enough to understand p-hacking is just absurd: it is not a sophisticated topic. I imagine the median researcher in fact has a robust and cynical understanding of…
Something feels off about this. I mean, it can go both ways, no? Perhaps, pressure from attending a HAS might push one towards substance abuse and more. But couldn't pressure from attending an elite institution and…
But what would you have them do instead of FA? I think we're partially agreeing here, but my thinking is that no analytical technique on its-own will be a panacea whether the users really understand it or not. Why would…
I'm not sure I'm particularly convinced that this is an issue with the method of factor analysis and by extension psychometrics, per-se. Unless one specifies a causal model and actually tries to do a risky test of their…
What would you like to say about factor analysis? Lay it on me
This aspect was investigated in the literature and broadly speaking, the biases still pop-up: https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1111/1467-9280.00350 - It was also touched on in the original paper that Tversky and…
So I'm a researcher that almost always uses pdfs... Does HTML have the reproducibility that PDF promises? My feeling is that if I store a PDF, it'll look the same in a decade. But is HTML the same way? It seems like it…
