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'm pretty sure, yes? Cauchy distribution and student-t have fatter tails than a standard normal distribution.
Well, I think it's usually more complicated than that. An over-simplification is that there's no free lunch. If you use a robust sandwich estimator, you're robust against non-normality and etc, but you lower the…
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, 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…
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…
