Understanding and testing for heteroscedasticity
A reviewer asked me to look at possible heteroscedasticity (HS) in some models I ran. It took me on a detour that ended with making some new convenience functions for resting for HS, whether linear or nonlinear. HS is when the variance of the residual depends on predictor values; i.e., the amount of error is a function of the predictors. Errors are supposed to be totally random normal values. HS biases the standard errors of the model, though does not normally result in bias in the effect sizes/slopes (I think).

Acedemic fields and gender
It has been claimed that gender differences in academic fields results from stereotypes about how difficult the fields are (Leslie, 2015). This is based on the finding that perceptions of brilliance requirement of different fields correlated strongly with the gender distribution. It apparently did not dawn on the people making this claim that the stereotypes were probably very accurate: people who study physics really are smarter than those who study psychology. This knitr visualizes data from a paper by Templer and Tomeo from 2002.
