Two articles on the role of #MedicalStatistics in #HealthSciences which are a good #CPD read for both #QuantitativeMethods experts as well as health content experts:

Medical statisticians: Always on tap, but never on top?
https://eprints.whiterose.ac.uk/id/eprint/211342/

And this paper aims to provide guidance on why, when and on what to consult with statisticians when setting up a research project

My previous pinned #introductionpost post is quite old, so here's a new go ...

I teach #linguistics at the #UniversityOfAlberta. Professional interests include #AccessiblePedagogy, #Phonetics, #QuantitativeMethods (#statistics), #SpeechTechnology, #InternetLinguistics, #WritingSystems, and #EnglishSpellingReform

Outside of work, I like #ScottishCountryDancing, #Canoeing, and various nerdy pursuits such as #TTRPGs and #StarTrek. 🤓

How can we use #QuantitativeMethods to automatically classify medieval hagiographic manuscripts & analyse their internal structure, their origins and relations? Sébastien de Valeriola (ULB, Brussels) explores this question in this week's #DigitalHistoryOFK by examining manuscripts that exhibit a particular internal organisation: per circulum anni. Not to be missed!

Open to all!

JOB: Wissenschaftliche/r Mitarbeiter/in (m/w/d) Digital Humanities
An der Philosophischen Fakultät der RWTH Aachen University (100% Beschäftigung, Tarifstufe TV-L13) im Bereich Digital Humanities. Die Stelle ist zunächst auf drei Jahre befristet.

I often look at papers where authors used a lot of effort to shoehorn a #LongitudinalAnalysis into a trajectory or #MixedModels that do not quite the job the team wants.

Analysing longitudinal data (esp. w time-varying covariates) via G-Estimation is an alternative for consideration:

The underlying thinking is not entirely different, but often one needs only a little step / laterality to get a new view on an analysis problem.

The "Reviewer's guide to #QuantitativeMethods" provides a concise summary of what to learn about and how to plan & report studies employing 31 (2nd ed. apparently 35) methods: https://www.routledge.com/The-Reviewers-Guide-to-Quantitative-Methods-in-the-Social-Sciences/Hancock-Stapleton-Mueller/p/book/9781138800137

Since it is a book, it will be difficult for many to get access. Does anyone know whether at least the checklists have been published somewhere #OpenAccess?

And is there a #QualitativeMethods version?

Here's a new #introduction post to celebrate moving to this new server. (Previously @TimPhon@mastodon.social)

I'm a #linguistics instructor at the University of Alberta. Academic interests include #phonetics, #quantitativeMethods (#statistics), and #speechTechnology. Working on #accessiblePedagogy in all my teaching. Hobby interests include #internetLinguistics, #spellingReform, and #ScottishCountryDancing. 🤓

📣 Time is running out 📣 We’re recruiting a full time research associate (quantitative social science) to work with us @SOEBristol from 1st March 2023 on the ESRC funded Shared Spaces Project. Application deadline 8th January 2023. #PhDchat #ECRjobs #socialscience #socialpsych #quantitativemethods https://www.bristol.ac.uk/jobs/find/details/?jobId=297837&jobTitle=Research%20Associate%20-%20ESRC%20Shared%20Spaces%20Project

Fellow Mastodonians, what are your favorite texts on constructing research questions in the social sciences?

So far, the best I've encountered is White's Developing Research Questions: https://www.bloomsbury.com/uk/developing-research-questions-9781137490476/

Do you know of any other good resources? It can be anything from textbooks to applied examples or even slides for use in teaching. Anything goes!

#Introduction Hi! I'm a Lecturer in the Politics of Gender at Newcastle University in the UK. I focus on #gender #race #racism #intersectionality #representation #parliaments #feminism #qualitativemethods and #quantitativemethods #TextAsData #polisci

Just learned about a new #QuantitativeMethods #journal that looks very promising:

Quote from the bird site:
"This is QCMB. We are the journal of Quantitative and Computational Methods in Behavioral Sciences. We like methods, stats, and free software. We publish peer-reviewed and open access for free."

https://qcmb.psychopen.eu/index.php/qcmb/index

Recently joined Mastodon from the #TwitterMigration. I’m seeing lots of #introduction and #FollowBackFridays posts, so here’s mine: Hi! I’m Meridith. I’m a #polisci #PhD candidate in the US studying #humanrights #digitalrepression #contention #politicaleconomy and #quantitativemethods. Huge #music lover (esp jam, bluegrass, prog, psychedelic rock, and jazz but open to it all). I enjoy hiking, kayaking, running, NBA (Go Nuggets!) and skiing. Hope to meet and connect with some likeminded folks!
