My latest blog post on how and why we added Bayesian tests to statscloud.app.
TLDR: Honestly, I really struggled to understand Bayesian analyses at first, so we delivered this update to help all those who would similarly benefit from some extra guidance on running them.

Congratulations on building such a brilliant game and reaching that landmark. I hope it continues to be a great success!
I love this - this is exactly why we moved on from the "tick-box" interface used by previous stats software.
Bayesian analysis can be super complicated, especially for newcomers, so explaining the output like this step-by-step is really beneficial.
Just as a quick note: statscloud.app is the only statistics app that allows you to run Bayesian tests on any device at any time for free. We've always aimed to make stats as accessible as possible to everyone so I'm really proud of what we've achieved here.
π¨ This is not a drill!
This is another landmark moment in StatsCloud's history and one I'm really pleased with. I hope many of you find this new addition useful.
I really enjoyed writing this blog post for the Applied Psychology Research group at @herts.ac.uk: I've always been fascinated by replication studies in psychology but have realised that they're not always as straightforward as they seem..

π’ Good news! We've revamped Principal Components Analysis so we now support more rotation methods and provide even more useful statistics in the output...
π Big news! I know many people have been asking for this analysis to be added for a while now, so I'm delighted that it's now available.
I believe this makes @statscloud.app the only statistics app that will let you calculate this stat on any device at any time for free...!
I really enjoy giving these presentations. The enthusiasm we're seeing for @statscloud.app is really encouraging and I'm so thankful for all the ongoing support we're receiving. Thanks, everyone!

Our recent hike around South Wales took us to the stunning Sychryd (Pwll Berw) waterfall. Almost twisted an ankle taking this, but absolutely worth it!

To celebrate the introduction of our new R analysis modules, here's a blog post from @dan.media explaining what it means for the app: blog.statscloud.app/introducing-...
This is why I love working in the UI/UX world. It's only a small thing, but I really enjoy bringing StatsCloud to life and making it more fun to use with little animations like this. I hope you like them! βΊοΈ
This, of course, is only the beginning... We'll soon be able to let anyone create their own R modules in StatsCloud, share these with others, and run them on any StatsCloud project in future. This really is an exciting moment for the app! π
This update has been about a year in the making so I'm really pleased to see it finally surface! This R integration means that anyone can now use an R-powered statistics app on any device at any time for free. I'm really proud that StatsCloud is leading the way on this.
Yeah, I probably would. Thanks, Facebook π

It's lovely to see some new followers on BlueSky! While you're here, please do check out @statscloud.bsky.social; our online stats package that's free and always available to everyone on any device :-)
Please don't give up on teaching students how to code.
If you don't want to dive straight into using a terminal, this app might be exactly what you need.
I cannot think of a better way of introducing someone to a statistical programming language than this! π
This is something I've wanted to see in statistics apps for ages: Generating a share link to a data set but with certain columns (with sensitive data) missing.
This is hugely important when sharing data sets online, and I'm so proud that @statscloud.bsky.social is leading the way on this π
I'm really happy with this talk! π
This showcases everything we've been up to at @StatsCloud over the year and demonstrates some really powerful new features. It even has a sneak peak at our brand new 'analysis modules' feature coming soon... π
What a brilliant article. Well worth a read if you're as frustrated with YouTube ads as me: www.pcworld.com/article/2419...
Thanks for the feedback! Yep, I agree, the perspective doesn't look quite right... and the clouds are too low. I might have another go at it π
I had some fun redesigning this, but abandoned one version (with mountains) on the right. Now I'm looking at it again, it doesn't look that bad... π«€ What do you think?
The welcome screen for statscloud.app which has an image of devices running statscloud on the left with some key text (including the phrase "A modern cross-platform statistics app that makes statistics open to everyone"). On the right are some action buttons saying "Go to dashboard" and "Start a new project" under a "Welcome" heading. This section has a dark background with light text.
The home screen for statscloud, showing a dashboard with 3 big action buttons ("New temporary project", "New saved project", and "New cloud project") with a list of projects below the heading "Projects saved in the cloud". The page has a dark background with light text.
The data view in StatsCloud with the 'Fisher Iris' data set loaded. A pop-up window is displayed showing a graph highlighting outliers and some input boxes to the right that change how outliers are detected (e.g., the "centre point", the "box", and "range"). The page has a dark background with light text.

Hot on the heels of our latest update comes version 0.9.7.1, which includes some small bug fixes, improvements to calculated variables, and a nice new colour palette for dark mode π
A screenshot of the text visible when visiting the link provided. The title reads "Version 0.9.7.0", and is dated as 6th October 2024. Below are two subheadings ("Data" and "Analyses") with a series of bullet points below.
Version 0.9.7.0 is now with us!
This version includes more post-hoc tests (for ANOVAs), a better way of toggling between different types of tests, and some other small bug fixes.
You can find out more in our release notes here: https://about.statscloud.app/release-notes#version0970
A screenshot of the landing page at statscloud.app. The page is split in two, with the left half showing the logo and some links ("About", "Goals", and "Education"), an image of the app running on different devices, and some scrolling text at the bottom starting with "Free and Always Available". The right half says "Welcome" with some key buttons: "Install the app", "Start a new project" and "Log in to StatsCloud PRO".
We've got a brand new landing page at http://statscloud.app
