How to get ESS style indentation in textmate

This should be standard in Textmate, I don't know why one has to go through so many steps to get it working:

How to update R bundle in textmate

Got this from the web somewhere:

Just create a script with the following content:


#!/bin/sh

LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8
SVN=`which svn`

echo Changing to Bundles directory...
mkdir -p /Library/Application\ Support/TextMate/Bundles
cd /Library/Application\ Support/TextMate/Bundles

if [ -d /Library/Application\ Support/TextMate/Bundles/R.tmbundle ]; then
echo R bundle already exists - updating...
$SVN up "R.tmbundle"
else
echo Checking out R bundle...
$SVN --username anon --password anon co http://macromates.com/svn/Bundles/trunk/Bundles/R.tmbundle/
fi

echo Reloading bundles in TextMate...
osascript -e 'tell app "TextMate" to reload bundles'

Selection bias in journal articles

Journals dealing in psycholinguistic research do not publish null results generally, because they are "inconclusive". So it's completely possible that out of 100 experiments, 95 are inconclusive, and 5 are "significant", but that all five are Type I errors. But it's those 5 experiments that will get published.

The naive rebuttal to this would be that such a situation would only rarely arise. But the non-obvious thing is that rare events do happen. If we published only those five articles, then how would we draw the conclusion that we are not in Type I la la land?
