Statistical Methods for Small Data
After the publication of our paper Bayesian PTSD-Trajectory Analysis with Informed Priors Based on a Systematic Literature Search and Expert Elicitation in Multivariate Behavioral Research, I was contacted by Scientia whether I was interested in an outreach publication based on our paper. Since I had funding for this…
Website Multilevel book update
The website of our book Multilevel Analysis: Techniques and Applications (3rd edition) has been updated with datasets, exercises and much more!
“Shape sorting” students for special education services?
In this dissertation, we focused on two alternative approaches to evaluate the hypothesis of interest more directly, i.e. informative hypothesis testing and model selection using order-restricted information criteria.
Manipulating the alpha level cannot cure significance testing
We argue that depending on p-values to reject null hypotheses, including a recent call for changing the canonical alpha level for statistical significance from .05 to .005, is deleterious for the finding of new discoveries and the progress of cumulative science.
Mother, father and child traumatic stress reactions after paediatric burn
The current study examined occurrence and within-family associations of traumatic stress reactions after child burn injury, while in the same model addressing the role of parents’ own symptoms in their reports of child symptoms.
Impressions of the S4-conference
The first edition of the S4-conference (Small Sample Size Solutions) was a big succes! The conference was organized in Utrecht from March 5-8 (2018). There were 110 participants from all over the world (South-Africa, Australia, USA, and many more countries) who enjoyed four days in the lovely…
LofS videos
In the fall of 2018, De Jonge Akademie will launch an interactive platform titled ‘The Living Room of Science’ (LofS) for generating, gathering and sharing knowledge on responsible research practices across all research disciplines. This platform will help young scholars and scientists find their way…
Stop using p-values!?
In this video I argue that if you criticize the use of p-values, you should also don’t use them yourselves… but, that’s not so easy and it might even hurt…What is your opinion? Leave a reply below! Other p-value movies What is a…
Drijfveren
Voor een project van De Jonge Akademie (DJA) is ons gevraagd hoe we in de wetenschap terecht zijn gekomen en wat onze drijfveren zijn. Benieuwd hoe ik na diverse omzwervingen terecht ben gekomen waar ik nu werk? Ik kan het iedereen aanraden om de vragen…
Reduction in sample size by order restrictions
In this dissertation, we focused on two alternative approaches to evaluate the hypothesis of interest more directly, i.e. informative hypothesis testing and model selection using order-restricted information criteria.
Any new literature on Approximate MI?
I will give a lecture on “Testing for measurement invariance: tips, tricks and what to do if MI does not hold?” including the new method of approximate MI. Are there any recent findings on approximate MI which I should not forget to include? Any nice…
Update Mobiliteitsonderzoek
De KNAW heeft een rapport uitgebracht over de mobiliteit van wetenschappers. In het KNAW-onderzoek is ons eerdere mobiliteitsonderzoek in opdracht van NWO aangevuld met recentere cijfers. De resultaten van ons eerdere onderzoek werden voor het grootste deel gerepliceerd in het nieuwe onderzoek. Zie ook het interview met…
