The absolute beautify of social media. So many useful resources and ideas, including discovering the ‘sample_prior = “only”’ argument in brms!

Yeah, I'm looking for the opposite! My course has quite a short introduction to Bayesian modelling, so I think I will end up writing some materials on getting people used to thinking about / setting priors.

That looks great, and you've just introduced me to `sample_prior = "only"` !

The author replied with this earlier, but thank you!

That's really good advice, I like that.

🤩

Already have a few papers on the reading list, but I'd never come across this one!

It's for students, so the more general the better as it's an introduction Bayesian modelling. This looks great though for a range of sources and models.

This is perfect, how has this not popped up in my searches?!

Thanks! I hadn't seen the Schad one before.

How Should You Think About Your Priors for a Bayesian Analysis? Here, I riff on how students should think about priors for a Bayesian analysis. It seems daunting, but it just means you should use your head and not expect software to think of your data/model for...

Bayesians: does anyone (@solomonkurz.bsky.social maybe?) have a good resource for how to set priors for beginners? Such as what kind of information in past papers you can use to inform your choices?

I found this but any resources welcome! svmiller.com/blog/2021/02...

I was so lucky as Glasgow increased their paternity leave from 2 weeks to 4 weeks on January 1st. Part of me feels guilty as friends could not benefit from that. I genuinely don’t know how we would have coped if I had to go back after 2 weeks, so employers, sort yourselves out.

I’m back at work after almost five weeks off on paternity leave. I thought I would be much more restless but I really enjoyed the time away minus the sleep deprivation.

If anyone is interested in a journal leadership position, there is a call for editor-in-chief for the Journal of Open Psychology Data: openpsychologydata.metajnl.com/announcements. I'm on the board, so I'm happy to chat to anyone or put your in touch with others!

For someone who almost lives for their work, the next four weeks are going to be a wild change of pace! Extremely fortunate paternity leave increased from 2 weeks just in time for baby Astrid. P

dplyr 1.2.0 was released last week and since I use {dplyr} a lot in my work, I wanted to take some time to try some of the new functions.

This post provides some supplemental examples of the new functions, beyond what is provided in the new Posit materials.

Totally, there’s only so much that’s under your control.

It comes up a lot in teaching. We're just writing a project up about data skills in students and there were some really interesting quotes where they thought a non-significant result was an error as all their teaching examples showed a significant result.

That would not surprise me

Very cool and a project idea I'd considered myself! I'm genuinely surprised the reproducibility estimate is so high, but I'd love to see the estimate for articles which *don't* have open data.
