- Reposted by Anne-Laure BoulesteixThis Registered Report masterpiece just dropped at BMC Biology, brilliantly led by a great team with the help of 300+ analysts & reviewers Same question, same data: go figure! tl;dr: Substantial heterogeneity among results comes from differences among analytical choices 🔗 doi.org/10.1186/s129...

- Reposted by Anne-Laure BoulesteixSomething that's been bugging me for a while in bioinformatics data analysis is this overreliance on packages, workflows and what's been called "cargo cult science". Can we have more conceptual thinking, more theory? Asking for what we really want to achieve and what we need to do gets us there.
- Happy to have been involved in this exciting project on the registration, design and reporting of statistical simulation studies, with @bsiepe.bsky.social @timpmorris.bsky.social et al., appeared in Psychological Methods:

- Reposted by Anne-Laure BoulesteixSimulation studies are essential for methods research. How well are they conducted & reported? How can we improve their quality? Out now in Psychological Methods, see 🧵 below. With @fbartos.bsky.social, @timpmorris.bsky.social, @boulesteixlaure.bsky.social, @danielheck.bsky.social & Samuel Pawel
- We reviewed 100 psych. simulation studies & find room for improvement in planning/reporting. As a remedy, we (František Bartoš, @timpmorris.bsky.social Anne-Laure Boulesteix, @danielheck.bsky.social & Samuel Pawel) present ADEMP-PreReg, a simulation study preregistration & reporting template 🧵/1
