New version of my preprint after reviewer comments!

I outline an applied stats assessment approach for combining reproducibility and replicability in students demonstrating data analysis skills.

We have extended the abstract deadline for @ukcots.bsky.social until the 21st of February, so there is still time to submit if you want a fun few days in Glasgow!

discovr: a package of interactive tutorials | discovr Statistics education

Probably no-one except me uses my R tutorials in their teaching, but if you do, I'm re-writing them over the next 6-9 months. My goal is to streamline them based on 5 years of using them in class, but if you have (polite) requests/suggestsions let me have them. www.discovr.rocks/discovr/

Data visualization in R for researchers who do not use R Learn the basics of data visualization in R using ggplot and how to make boxplots, histograms, violin-plots, bar charts, and scatterplots.

You there! Would you like to learn how to make very pretty graphs in #rstats? I'm delivering a short introduction to data viz in R on 15th April. Online, free (I think), and no prior knowledge or experience of R required.

I've been working on a new book for our PsyTeachR suite to support my stats and research course where we can teach MSc students more of a modelling approach. So far, it covers simple to generalised linear regression, and an introduction to Bayesian statistics: bartlettje.github.io/statsresdesi...

Approximately one month left to submit an abstract to UKCOTS 2025!

You can see abstracts from last year for inspiration on our website, but happy to chat if you have any questions.

A little delayed but Wil Toivo and I finally have a complete rewrite of our Fundamentals of Quantitative Analysis book 📖 psyteachr.github.io/quant-fun-v3/

This is our data skills book for MSc conversion students, so they must rapidly get up to speed and complete chapters 1-11 in semester 1.

❤️ People still need training in computational skills
🧡 Every branch of research is increasingly reliant on all things digital...
💛...but most new grads are no better than 25 years ago
💚 Mostly graduate level and grassroots
💙 Mostly self-taught and short training
