If you're interested in doing a PhD in something to do with elections, political psychology, public opinion, or anything to do with British politics (or know someone else who is), then get in touch - we have an open funding competition at the moment!

Unsurprisingly then, the relationship between Reform performance and Conservative performance in 2024 is pretty obvious - in the places where Reform did the best, the Conservative vote went down a lot!

New paper w/ @caprosser at @apsrjournal. A recent paper claim rising mass polarization in US is actually declining survey cooperation rates (only diehard partisans responding). We show evidence that this actually results from overly strong regularization cambridge.org/core/journals/…

New from @jon_mellon and me in @apsrjournal looking at the impact that regularization (e.g. Ridge regression, LASSO etc) can have on adjusting for confounders, with particular application to claims about the effect of survey non-response on estimates of polarization. Thread⬇️

Along the way we touch things of wider relevance to social scientists like the equivalence of informative priors and different types of regularization, and the utility of simulation as part of our workflows. Check it out ⬇️⬇️⬇️ cambridge.org/core/journals/…

We argue that a recent claims that survey non-response has inflated estimates of mass polarization (cambridge.org/core/journals/…) are driven by the use of ridge regression. See this thread from @jon_mellon x.com/jon_mellon/sta…

Grant me the confidence of the peer reviewer who doesn’t know what a marginal effect is but thinks they’re qualified to offer statistical advice.
