Proudly presenting the (for now) final version of "Why experiments work." To share the materials in a slightly more professional manner, I added a "Resources" page to my website: juliarohrer.com/resources/. That was long overdue anyway; now there's also a curated list of my papers and blog posts.

In critiques of research you often hear about "samples of convenience" as being a major limitation. I've been thinking that for longitudinal research we need to introduce the terms "designs (i.e.timescales) of convenience" and "models of convenience" because they can be just as problematic. 1/6

Very interesting ongoing discussion if you are in to psychopathology. An obs for many who are commenting about specific constructs…HiTOP has rules about evidence. If a construct can’t be reliable differentiated based on our measures, then it won’t separate out in the model. 1/

Not every study needs to have a power analysis, but every study needs a sample size justification. I discuss 6 approaches, and 6 ways to think about which effect sizes are of interest in the study you are planning. online.ucpress.edu/collabra/art...

Multiple Testing Corrections "Many error rates exist — per-comparison, familywise, false discovery, and per family — so by definition there cannot be a generic 'false positive rate' that a researcher can control." New paper by Stanley Lazic: dx.doi.org/10.1037/met0...

Most scientific disciplines use significance testing to draw conclusions about experimental or observational data. This classical approach provides a theoretical guarantee for controlling the number of false positives across a set of hypothesis tests, making it an appealing framework for scientists seeking to limit the number of false effects or associations that they claim to observe. Unfortunately, this theoretical guarantee applies to few experiments, and the true false positive rate (FPR) is much higher. Scientists have plenty of freedom to choose the error rate to control, the tests to include in the adjustment, and the method of correction, making strong error control difficult to attain. In addition, hypotheses are often tested after finding unexpected relationships or patterns, the data are analyzed in several ways, and analyses may be run repeatedly as data accumulate. As a result, adjusted p values are too small, incorrect conclusions are often reached, and results are harder to reproduce. In the following, I argue why the FPR is rarely controlled meaningfully and why shrinking parameter estimates is preferable to p value adjustments.
