Cohen’s d is one of the most widely used ways to communicate mean differences across studies. But what, exactly, is it telling us? A perspective on detectability of effects -- just out in PARE: openpublishing.library.umass.edu/pare/article... #openaccess
A new preregistration template for simulation studies is now live on OSF. Thanks to the creators and the preregistration template working group for proposing and shepherding this to make it available to users.
See the post if you would like to propose a new template.

Just gave my last talk of the year!
2025 was quite packed, I gave talks about:

- making rigorous causal inference more mainstream
- mediation analysis
- marginaleffects
- causal graphs (x10)
