Hm, ich weiß, es ist ein beliebter Take von US-Rechten, liberalen Frauen Intoleranz vorzuwerfen, weil sie seltener rechte Männer daten wollen. Ergo tragen sie Schuld an männl. Einsamkeit & Radikalisierung, usw. Aber müssen wir wirklich jeden Quatsch hierzulande kopieren? Es langweilt mich. 🙄

Is Regression to the Mean a thing in longitudinal analysis using mixed models with random slopes (and interaction term between time x group)? And if so, to which extent? Or can we be relaxed due to shrinkage, and if we use pseudo-randomization via counterfactual predictions?

I was attending the 21st @eshms.bsky.social conference and beyond the many great sessions there was also an amazing session about the quantitative #MAIHDA approach. I updated the #rstats #easystats tutorial on MAIHDA modelling easystats.github.io/modelbased/a..., including some new things I learned.

The biggest hurdle in switching from SPSS to R is thinking in programming logic. Instead of single datasets or temporary outputs, R treats everything as an object. To master this mindset, I highly recommend Andy’s video series - especially "Creating an Object" and "What is a function?" #rstats

See here for an example of their differences. Even though {parameters} prints things as not-tibbles, it still uses data frames behind the scenes and you can do regular dplyr things. {parameters} fits directly in the {tinytable} world too, which is nice andrewheiss.quarto.pub/parameters-v...

Want to know how to use MAIHDA to examine heterogeniety in policy outcomes? Here's a nice worked-through example! How does intersectional identity impact preference for in-person vs online GP appoinments? Has been great working with @healthfoundation.bsky.social colleagues on this :)

Is there a term for this kind of approach, which maybe also include "simpler" analyses, like the general use of EMMs or comparisons and alike? I always use "pairwise comparisons" as a synonym, because that is what more people know. What I'm actually referring to is a "post-estimation framework" /1

Nice thread that gives examples how many research questions can be answered by some kind of estimated marginal means, contrasts/comparisons or marginal effects. Check out the recent release from the #rstats {modelbased} 📦 and the cool examples shown in the #easystats thread!

I'm a Bayesian or a frequentist depending on the sample size. As long as the paradigm can answer my research question, and as long as I don't think that absence of evidence is evidence of absence, I'm fine with either paradigm.

Post-hoc wizardry in #rstats! It's fascinating how many statistical challenges can be solved or research questions can be answered by some form of predictions, marginal means and effects, or comparisons and contrasts. Things you can easily do with packages like {modelbased} or {marginaleffects}!
