#461 Interpreting Ordinal and Disordinal interactions

Thoughts: Interactions are not simple things. Their shape can determine many things (including sample size and effect size)

#418 On Misconceptions and the Limited Usefulness of Ordinal Alpha

Thoughts: Ordinal Ξ± seemed cool. Then I read this paper. Takeaway: methods need good peer review and debate.

#infinite #math

nice take in 2 1/2 open acccess pages,

wrt #philosophers were well advised to not limiting the scope of their attention to #cardinal #numbers when referring to the #math #infinite. equally important [besides #ordering #structures and especially #ordinal #numbers] are e.g. #measures on #infinite #Booelan #lattices [#probability only a special case of these]

#161 Ridit scores for analysis and interpretation of ordinal (pain) data

Thoughts: A less well-known ordinal analysis. Ridits are scale and integer invariant, and provide effect magnitude comparisons.
