Terrible stuff happening in downtown Nashville
11 May 2025
WATCH: “There were ICE raids at the bars in downtown Nashville.”
Singer Monte Mader says ICE agents were raiding bars on Broadway unlawfully — going after cooks, NOT criminals — and offers a plausible theory for why they wear masks.

One of the most common questions I get when talking about why you need to include the outcome in your imputation model is whether this is “double dipping” or “data leakage” — if this is you, what would convince you that this is not a concern?
18 Apr 2024
Curious why statisticians recommend including the outcome in your imputation models? Check out our new paper in Statistical Methods in Medical Research! @SarahLotspeich, @StatStaci5, and I show with some simple mathematical derivations why this is really a requirement!

New preprint! Our brains don’t develop in a vacuum, but enmeshed in a complex web of experiences environments. How can we characterize the interconnected and co-occurring features of a child’s environment to better understand cognitive neurodevelopment? biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/… /1

We have a new preprint. In short: separate FDR for positive/negative effects avoids direction errors with 2-tailed tests. More power with adaptive BKY (vs BH). But visualization software needs asymmetric thresholds. w/@afni_pt, @ten_photos & Chris Rorden arxiv.org/pdf/2401.03554.pdf

“Importantly, false positives were most common for small training datasets and large external datasets.”
Starting to think more about power and machine learning in neuroimaging in this excellent work led by @RosenblattMatt !
