Can #video surveys better test whether conventional surveys measured what we thought?
A #philosophy YouTuber presented thought experiments and viewers responded in a survey. The presenter emphasized the key points. Only 3-15% of participants didn’t comprehend as intended (and were excluded from #dataAnalysis).
Comprehenders’ data suggest that conventional survey results weren't “the mere product of a comprehension error.”
How should #education and #science adapt in the #AI boom? My latest thoughts 👇
It started as a grumpy list of #academic misconceptions about #LLMs. That list largely survived, but — thanks to questions from #AuthorityMagazine — I considered broader and more productive points as well, like the academic job market.

The bad news: research typically visualizes *either* statistical test uncertainty (e.g., confidence intervals) *or* data variability (e.g., the distribution of data), but medical professionals, data scientists, and tenure track faculty reliably misinterpreted those.
The good news: Visualizing *both* more or less eliminated experts’ misunderstanding of the visualization.

I've updated my SADI repository of #Stata code for life-course sequence analysis to cope with Stata 18.
No major changes, but if you are using Stata 18 it is worth updating:
. net from https://teaching.sociology.ul.ie/sadi
. net install sadi
. net get sadi
Then run distances.do to test.

I've updated my #Stata cluster utilities
These utilities add to Stata's cluster capabilities, particularly when clustering from a distance matrix, rather than variables. Stata's "cluster stop" commands do not work in the manner you might expect with distance matrices.
The updates are mainly minor changes to keep up with newer versions of Stata. #clusteranalysis #sociology #quantmethods #datascience

Updated preprint for @jlfossum's awesome paper on #poweranalysis in #mediationanalysis. The main takeaway is that if you’re simulating normal or nonnormal homoskedastic data you can use joint significance test for power analysis instead of bootstrapping but not if you simulate heteroskedadtic data. #psychology #quantmethods #psychmethods #quantpsych #psychresearch https://psyarxiv.com/5tm2x/

Can we trust self-report data?
John Shaver, Martin Lang & colleagues went to the trouble of benchmarking self-reported religious service attendance against measured attendance in remote Fiji.
TL; DR: there is measurement error. In the villages studied, people overstate religious service attendance.
John isn’t here yet, but you can follow Martin at @martinlangcz
