    1. Her opposition to police and prison starts with the experiences of marginalized people, who have to deal with police and carceral violence every day.

      Although I know this from a first hand experience and experience of family members, I think statistics on incarcerated people would benefit the article.

      If someone who has never researched this topic reads this, they wouldn't truly understand the gap between marginalized people incarcerated and those not.

      Another good statistic that could be used is the recent amount of people that have been released early or with certain crimes being decrimalized and what groups those are.

    1. ReconfigBehSci. (2021, July 20). No it doesn’t- it reflects the statistics of what, mathematically, has to happen as more and more people are vaccinated with a vaccine of less than 100% efficacy (as all vaccines are) [Tweet]. @SciBeh. https://twitter.com/SciBeh/status/1417520720960131073

    1. David Benkeser. (2020, November 9). Another view on uncertainty associated based on Pfizer’s results. Even if you were highly skeptical about MRNA vaccines (many are [were?]) with 50% prior belief that VE ~ 0, based on an 8:86 vax:placebo case split, the posterior probability that VE > 75% is ~ 1.

    1. (((Howard Forman))). (2020, November 24). Truly good news out of #Italy. And we can all use it. Cases (23K), positive rate (12.3%), and hospitalizations all DOWN. ICU occupancy with smallest increase in months. Deaths (not surprisingly) the one exception with 3rd highest total.

    1. A cross disciplinary study of link decay and the effectiveness of mitigation techniques

      Tried to add to Mendeley, but it kept pulling up an article with a similar subject, but it was not the same article.

    1. A 2013 study in BMC Bioinformatics looked at the lifespan of links in the scientific literature — a place where link persistence is crucial to public knowledge. The scholars, Jason Hennessey and Steven Xijin Ge of South Dakota State University, analyzed nearly 15,000 links in abstracts from Thomson Reuters’ Web of Science citation index. They found that the median lifespan of Web pages was 9.3 years, and just 62% were archived. Even the websites of major corporations that should know better — including Adobe, IBM, and Intel — can be littered with broken links.

    1. 什么是统计量的size和power?          size是指size of the test,就是置信水平(1 - 阿尔法)里面的那个“阿尔法”,又称“检验水平”。 power是指power of test statistic,是统计量的“统计检验力”。 在有限样本时,即使当N和T分别小于50和2时,该检验统计量仍然拥有合理的size, 特别当T大于等于10时,该检验拥有良好的power.——这句话怎样理解? "合理的size就是能够满足合理的置信水平条件,也就是犯I类错误的概率很低。良好的power是指犯II类错误的概率很低,也就是H0为假时拒绝H0的概率很高。"

      在试验样本确定的情况下,\(\alpha\)越小,\(\beta\)就越大。

    1. lthough rarely as sophisticated as Ithaca’s efforts, such review of social media information is quite common: a 2015 Kaplan Test Prep Survey of 397 admissions officers found that 40 percent of admissions officers visit applicants’ social media profiles, often to verify information presented on their applications

    1. However, preprints in biology have not achieved a critical mass for takeoff. Last year, for example, bioRxiv received 888 preprints compared with 97,517 for arXiv, even though many more papers are published in the life sciences.

      Sobering statistic. Whatever solutions we propose for biomedicine, they generally are not adopted.

    2. Over the past 30 y, the US scientific workforce (e.g., postdoctoral fellows and graduate students) has increased by almost threefold (5, 6), fueled, in part, by the doubling of the NIH budget between 1998 and 2003.
