Russell Vought’s OMB published a rule today attacking peer review, which came along with a Murdoch NY Post article favorable to the rule- and attacking peer review.
Which all makes the timing of yesterday’s Murdoch WSJ article attacking peer review seem much more suspicious!
Move over, GLM-HMM—there’s a new hidden Markov model in town.
In our new preprint, we introduce the DDM-HMM: a model that jointly infers latent decision states from reaction times and choices.
Using 24-hour behavioral data from rats, we found that evidence accumulation changes with time of day!
In Jan 2029 a trifecta should pass a large bill package that overturns somewhere between 20 and 50 Roberts Court decisions of the last three decades.
We can roll back what they did to legalize political bribery, enable fraud, empower white collar criminals, destroy the govt, etc.
Lastly a huge thanks to all the authors especially my advisors @briandepasquale.bsky.social and the bluesky-less Ben Scott!
And the best part? Our new model was implemented fully in #JuliaLang. So check out our preprint and learn about the DDM-HMM; accumulating evidence suggests it’s the hottest new behavioral time series model!
Our new model revealed “patient,” “impulsive,” and low-drift decision states that wax and wane across the light-dark cycle.
We found that regardless of how good individual animals were, at the population level all animals accumulated evidence more effectively during the dark cycle!
