Happy to share my article “Simulation-Based Power Analyses for the Smallest Effect Size of Interest: A Confidence Interval Approach for Minimum-Effect and Equivalence Testing' is now published in Advances in Methods and Practices in Psychological Science doi.org/10.1177/251524…

We'll likely have a 2-year postdoc position in our lab (MetaMelb) in psych at Melbourne Uni, starting later this year.
If you have a PhD, do relevant stuff, & want to spend 2 years in Melbourne studying psychology research methods & practices, please get in touch!
Please share!
