A public capable of critically evaluating statistical evidence creates strong incentives for higher-quality research. #stat #research #science https://www.psu.edu/news/research/story/more-half-adults-us-say-they-lack-basic-statistical-understanding21 Aug 2026 15:43 +0000at://did:plc:binfbllg5qq2fmof5loahttc/app.bsky.feed.post/3mtm3zuhczk2qhttps://bsky.app/profile/mframos.bsky.social/post/3mte6umxlrc2gHalf of 274 statistically significant claims in social science #research were replicated in the SCORE project.

How good it actually is can be considered using some math, #statistics intuition, & common sense. https://doi.org/10.1093/jrssig/qmag06318 Aug 2026 12:12 +0000at://did:plc:binfbllg5qq2fmof5loahttc/app.bsky.feed.post/3mte6umxlrc2ghttps://bsky.app/profile/mframos.bsky.social/post/3msathbpa3k2z#JSM2026 Day 2 shirt.04 Aug 2026 10:45 +0000at://did:plc:binfbllg5qq2fmof5loahttc/app.bsky.feed.post/3msathbpa3k2zhttps://bsky.app/profile/mframos.bsky.social/post/3ms3tkrntic2sDay 1 shirt at #JSM202602 Aug 2026 11:04 +0000at://did:plc:binfbllg5qq2fmof5loahttc/app.bsky.feed.post/3ms3tkrntic2shttps://bsky.app/profile/mframos.bsky.social/post/3mq7spflc3s2cVery excited to attend!!! #statsky #statistics #jsm2026 [contains quote post or other embedded content]09 Jul 2026 14:09 +0000at://did:plc:binfbllg5qq2fmof5loahttc/app.bsky.feed.post/3mq7spflc3s2chttps://bsky.app/profile/mframos.bsky.social/post/3mq5emfpw4c24From our latest research published in @plosone.org, it's refreshing to see the U.S. public’s willingness to acknowledge what they don't know and openness to use such knowledge if they understand it better. Wisdom is honest humility paired with the appetite to learn. #science https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.035028208 Jul 2026 14:51 +0000at://did:plc:binfbllg5qq2fmof5loahttc/app.bsky.feed.post/3mq5emfpw4c24https://bsky.app/profile/mframos.bsky.social/post/3mfhrivomr225In a coin toss, the probability of heads is taught to be half.

Comprehending this one statement can clear up a host of misunderstandings about how null hypothesis testing works and why failure to reject the null hypothesis does say less than rejecting it. https://doi.org/10.64628/AAI.we7jgcdyx27 Nov 2025 02:36 +0000at://did:plc:binfbllg5qq2fmof5loahttc/app.bsky.feed.post/3m6ldkalqp225https://bsky.app/profile/mframos.bsky.social/post/3m5ajp3qllc2qThe idea of "Wisdom of the Crowd" may seem strange at first glance, until you realize that the historical foundations of the Gaussian distribution is based on observations of human measurement error.
