The title is a little pointed, but I am very serious here. Academics, medical researchers, and other organisations should not collect data on birth sex. It is rarely relevant, and it almost always leads to privacy violations for transgender people. Please share. I would like people to read this one.

Statisticians and academics in Australia should ignore the terrible advice of most LGBTIQA+ organisations and read this post instead. The 2020 ABS standard is almost never the correct way to collect d...

I would have preferred to have the "draw the rest of the owl" meme on the cover, but this will do. Seems like it is on schedule, and we'll leave some typos so you know we didn't write it with AI.

this firm refusal to engage with the reality of scientific/statistical uncertainty underlies so much of what we consider to be the shortcomings of the scientific endeavor. uncertainty is not a bug. it's a feature. it's the reason science exists. it's what fuels progress. it's not the enemy.

Experimentology is out today!!! A group of us wrote a free online textbook for experimental methods, available at experimentology.io - the idea was to integrate open science into all aspects of the experimental workflow from planning to design, analysis, and writing.

Experimentology cover: title and curves for distributions.

This sounds like the same error I blogged about a few years ago, the common error of trying to control for population (or body size or many etc) by dividing the outcome variable by it. Props to the authors for seeking review and taking the issue seriously. Role models for us all.

Daily posts here with text that include #rstats, from Aug 1 thru yesterday. Excludes the CRAN package update bot. Data pulled with the {bskyr} #rstats 📦 christophertkenny.com/bskyr/ Data wrangled with dplyr & purrr, visualized with ggplot2

Bar chart showing daily Bluesky post statistics (excluding CRAN update bot) from August 2024 to November 2024. The y-axis ranges from 0 to 120 posts per day, and the x-axis shows dates. The data shows a general upward trend, with most activity in August-October ranging between 0-20 posts per day, but increasing significantly in November with some days reaching 60-115 posts.

If only scholarly publications came with a short synopsis of the paper right up front, written by the authors to highlight the important and salient points of the study. We could give it a nifty name, like "abstract".
