Two analogies on ‘Waking Up’. The Ubiquity of Non-Informative Priors →. What is a statistical model? July 10, 2015. Brendon J. Brewer. What is a statistical model? My own views are different. Firstly, I don’t think statistical models are representations of the data at all (barring one exception, which I will discuss later). Instead, they are representations of the. Whether or not we should trust the results of an inference, which is what we usually want to know. About the values of. Is on the x-axis and.

Blogging about science, statistics, and psychology. I’m going to write a diary entry every day, detailing a way in which I’ve thought about, interacted with, or discussed statistics. I’ve been inspired to do this by Andrew Gelman, here. Click the links below to read my deepest, most personal thoughts (about statistics and sometimes other related things).

Blogging about science, statistics, and psychology. New revision of How to become a Bayesian in eight easy steps. September 4, 2016. September 4, 2016. Quentin, Fabian, Peter, Beth and I recently resubmitted our manuscript titled “How to become a Bayesian in eight easy steps: An annotated reading list” that we initially submitted earlier this year. You can find an updated preprint here. This was quite a minor revision. The largest change to the paper. You’ll have to check out the paper. July 20, 2016.

Blogging about science, statistics, and psychology. Richard Morey shared a new preprint. Also- Got invited to review another paper at JMP! So exciting.🙂 It’s like 40 pages long though…. Oh well, I’ll give it a thorough review and do my duty as a reviewer. And I’ll sign it! Joe Hilgard wrote a nice piece. Oh yeah, Chris Engelhardt # didthemath. On that wobbly chairs crap from Psych Science. BFs are all terribly weak and even support the null. I mean, you didn’t need to see the BFs for this ...A new paper...

Blogging about science, statistics, and psychology. Understanding Bayes: Visualization of the Bayes Factor. August 9, 2015. November 15, 2015. In the first post. The likelihood is the workhorse of Bayesian inference. In order to understand Bayesian parameter estimation you need to understand the likelihood. In order to understand Bayesian model comparison (Bayes factors) you need to understand the likelihood and likelihood ratios. I’ve shown in another post. There’s that coin again. In that previous post.

Blogging about science, statistics, and psychology. I had a discussion. I read a wonderful article. Today by EJ Wagenmakers and colleagues (Krypotos, Criss, and Iverson) detailing the effects of nonlinear transformations on different types of interactions (ordinal, crossover, etc). I wish they taught this in my stats classes! Then i read a blog post. The blog sparked a lot of discussion on Twitter. And lead us down the typical rabbit-hole that discussions of Bayesian statistics lend themselves to. In...

Blogging about science, statistics, and psychology. I took a bit of a vacation and break. I needed to recharge my batteries and I was feeling somewhat burned out. I think this problem probably comes from not taking more little breaks here and there. I think I learned a valuable lesson: don’t spend all day every day studying and reading and writing. Take a break! Working on the code for that post. The pretty function is amazing! Also- I didn’t take my own advice and worked on this blog post and prog...

Blogging about science, statistics, and psychology. Lots of twittering today. Topics: What is p-hacking? Garden of forking paths. Embrace priors! Is saying someone p-hacked equivalent to accusing them of fraud? Is ignorance of the law an excuse? Lots of conversations and don’t feel like linking to them all. Pretty interesting system they have at Coursera. So far so good. Not much statistical on my mind today. Tried to format my Winnower piece but didn’t have time. And then their rejoinder. Very very inte...
