Citizen science for small sample size research!
Small-sample research is everywhere, but the methods actually designed for it? Basically ghosts. 👻📊 We need to learn these methods faster, and the best way is together. What if we treated statistical exploration like citizen science? (Think eBird, but for stats 🦅🔬). In this thread, we use a Replext app from mightymetrika to crowdsource, replicate, and extend a method called "informative hypothesis testing." Let’s dive in! 🧵👇 🌐: mightymetrika.com/citsci 📊: mightymetrika.shinyapps.io/m… #rstats #statistics #math #simulation #citizenscience #science #data 1/

It is important to carefully consider individual level data when working with small sample sizes! #rstats #statistics #math #dataanalysis #analytics #ml #ai
Group averages can lie. 📉 In small-sample longitudinal studies, looking only at the mean can hide the real story. Visualizing individual trajectories reveals hidden heterogeneity, non-linear trends, and critical outliers. Here’s a practical tool from Carrig, Wirth, & Curran (2004; 10.1207/S15328007SEM1101_9) to fix that. 🧵👇 1/ #RStats #Statistics #Math #Simulation #Data #DataScience #MachineLearning #Graphics

P-values can hold your small-sample studies back. 📉 “Not significant” ≠ “No effect.” Bayes factors fix this. They let you weigh the evidence for multiple plausible hypotheses at once—including your theory vs. the null. It’s time to upgrade how we measure evidence. 👇🧵 1/

Learn more about single case designs! Specifically learn about the simple but mighty non-overlap of all pairs statistic! #statistics #math #rstats #research #wwc #programming #coding
Hard to collect a large sample size for your #clinical intervention #research? 🧐 Single-Case Experimental Designs (SCEDs) are a powerful alternative! Participants serve as their own controls, measured repeatedly over time [Maric, Marija & Werff, Vera. (2020). Single-Case Experimental Designs in Clinical Intervention Research. 10.4324/9780429273872-9] Note: To meet strict WWC 5.0 standards, a well-designed SCED needs built-in replication (like an ABAB #design), not just a simple A-B phase. [ies.ed.gov/ncee/WWC/Handbook…] But regardless of the specific design, how do we validate that our data shows a meaningful, reliable effect? Enter: The Non-Overlap of All Pairs (NAP). #RStats #Math #Statistics #Programming #ggplot2 #Simulation 🧵👇 1/12

Game time! Let's play! #gamedev #games #programming #coding #tetris
been feeling kinda stressed lately so I made a little prototype is this anything

Does an effect hold for everyone the sample, or just on average? 🤔 Detecting a group-level effect doesn't guarantee it applies to every individual. Klaassen (10.4324/9780429273872-11) proposed a method to evaluate hypotheses case-by-case and aggregate the results. 🧵👇 #RStats

Looks so fun! #gamedev #games #planes
This game dev is making a game where you fly through a semi-open world as a paper plane. Wow! - Transform between a plane, ball, or boat in real-time - Realistic physics - Unlockable upgrades The game is called Paper Sky. Release date TBA.

#ゲーム試作・実験 #Gemini ブーメランアクションゲーム試作してみた。投げっぱなしにすると徐々に火力が増すブーメランを、ジャグリングのように空中で踊らせながら戦う。 自身にブーメランがぶつかると吹っ飛んで加速し、攻撃だけでなく移動アクションの幅も広がるのが特徴。

PLAY TIME! #games #gamedev #ai
#ゲーム試作・実験 #Gemini 画面枠を動かしてボールを上下左右にループさせる、ブロック崩し風ゲームを試作してみた。窓から覗いて空間を切り出すような感触が特徴。 跳ね回るボールを眺めて楽しみつつ、ボールの流れをループで制御しフィールドの隅々まで巡らせていく。

Sometimes theory says "positive effect " but regression output says "p-value for not zero". Avoidable? Wolak's 87 paper (10.1080/01621459.1987.10478499) gives exact tests for inequality constraints. R package: restriktor #Statistics #Rstats

🧪 Help us map the limits of human perception with Apophenia! 1️⃣ The Concept: Apophenia is the human tendency to perceive meaningful patterns in random data (like seeing faces in clouds). 2️⃣ The Mission: Apophenia is a citizen science game collecting data on how accurately people distinguish true mathematical signals from random noise. 3️⃣ The Test: In this video, a simple quadratic curve y=x^2 1 is slowly buried under increasing Gaussian noise. At what point does the signal disappear for you? Play now to test your calibration: randomplayables.com/ #math #citizenscience #games #gamedev
