How many versions of the Iowa Gambling Task (IGT) exist? And how much does this affect research using the IGT? More than you might think. 🧵
And we're live, Lecture A1 is online. Introduction to Bayesian workflow, generative models, estimands, estimators, estimates, error checking, beginnings of probability theory and Bayesian updating. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ztbY...
The 1.3.0 version of my {brms} + {tidyverse} translation of Kruschke's "Doing Bayesian data analysis" is up!

Really nice, congrats! It remembered me of an old classic: scaleofuniverse.com/en
Made a site comparing the sizes of living things :)
The great Julius Csotonyi spent 5 months painting over 60 illustrations for the site, no ai used

Truly the stupidest cult. Obsessed with a drug that doesn't work against an infectious disease that they don't even think is real.
Kind reminder: data driven variable selection (e.g. forward/stepwise/univariable screening) makes things *worse* for most analytical goals
Wow, thanks for the kind words 🙏🏻😊
This is actually a simple general purpose sampler for building Bayesian models using R only (like a spiritual successor of LaplacesDemon). I use it for teaching mostly, as students have a hard time learning Stats+R+Stan, so I at least remove one step from the process 🙏🏻
It is definitely worth! I did this with my package: github.com/vthorrf/YABS super useful for my own learning and teaching :)
Experimentology is out today!!! A group of us wrote a free online textbook for experimental methods, available at experimentology.io - the idea was to integrate open science into all aspects of the experimental workflow from planning to design, analysis, and writing.
AIC comparing discrete to continuous (or mixed discrete/continuous to continous) models? Run away!

Maybe try "gold" or any of its variations if you are using R

The case for #SlowScience has never been stronger.
We must prioritise thoughtful, creative, and collaborative research that cannot be mimicked by these plagiarism machines.

Nice! I am happy to help 🙏🏻
No problem :) Could you please try running the attached example? I am using Windows and it worked just well.
Sorry! I forgot to come back here yesterday. The error means that the workers (i.e., each core) can't properly access the function. I know this may be too basic, but did you remember to load the package in each worker?
Are you using your own non-native language function or is it a function from some package?
Didn't know you are Swedish
Genuine question to psychologists and other social scientists here: Have you been taught/Are you teaching that when designing a study/survey you should not ask about demographic stuff first? If so, what was the explanation given to you/you give?
If one wanted to hire a professional #rstats #rshiny developer to work work with qualitative/text data in particular (so many involve a dashboard for search/semantic/sentiment analyses), do you have any recommendations of individuals or companies? (please repost)

How can we reduce conceptual clutter in the psychological sciences?
@ruimata.bsky.social and I propose a solution based on a fine-tuned 🤖 LLM (bit.ly/mpnet-pers) and test it for 🎭 personality psychology.
The paper is finally out in @natrevpsych.bsky.social: go.nature.com/4bEaaja
Are you doing EMA research and wonder how to go about it? In recent work we've adressed some open questions and challenges, here is a brief summary of papers and materials.

My efforts to raise awareness about the TEMPO toolkit has turned into a new creative obsession. Who would have thought creating info-animations would be so much fun!
Here's one on why compassion, NOT criticism, is the answer for those who struggle with #procrastination. Share!
