@impq.bsky.social at Judas Priest last night I saw at least a dozen doppelgangers of @kirkie.bsky.social including one on the stage.

Final phase of reorganising my various websites was to strip all of the non-shiny app content from milton-the-cat.rocks so that it now hosts only my shiny apps. There's not many, but it has the following delights:

Sampling the linear model: An app to explore how sample size and sampling error affect estimates of population parameters in a one-predictor linear model (e.g., simple regression). milton-the-cat.rocks/lm_sampling/

Lovely day at eddfest yesterday. My final maiden gig for a while. True to the absent minded prof trope, I managed to be unaware of the @impq.bsky.social Meetup, but bumped into them anyway. A marvellous surprise!

Lots of negative reporting around Maidens Paris show, which had no encores because of an earlier power cut. My take: 1. Gutting, but the right decision to skip encores because Mariner/7th son probably won’t get played beyond this tour but aces high/FOTD and wasted years probably will.

3. I hope they don’t abandon the recordings as these renditions were awesome and they have enough footage from other shows to complete the package.

23 June

Tl:dr So, for me, mixed feelings- disappointment after travelling from Uk not to see the whole set, but also feel like I saw some really special renditions of some of my favourite maiden songs. Ps la defense arena needs back up generators!

2. Weird night but honestly the band and crowd were so fired up after the break that mariner was savage … maybe the best I’ve ever heard it, real fire in the belly stuff. The entire second half was magnificent.

Tonight, for the second time in my life, I’ve been at an iron maiden show where the venue power completely blows mid-set.

The press want you to believe there are violent protests in Brighton today. Counter protesters outnumbered the Fascists by many thousands. We sang, danced, and waved inflatable bananas and hearts in the name of tolerance and diversity. Fascists not welcome in Brighton.

A truly great book! And we’re not just saying that because our #easystats packages are in it. Although, of course, that’s (a small) part of the reason why the book is so great. 😎

Quick update on the update: my companion website is now complete! (Also, fYI @sagepub.com)

Prof Andy Field@profandyfield.com

I've just made live the updated website that accompanies my R book (www.discovr.rocks) - it's mostly finished: almost all of the chapter solutions/task solutions are done, data are live, updated info about the `discovr` package of interactive tutorials, and it's had a face lift.

I’m considering whether I could set this up as required reading for students to gain access to my module canvas sites. Such a great summary of important issues.

Interested in finding out more about @jaspstats.bsky.social? The Psych Methods Group at the University of Amsterdam is running four hands-on workshops (in person or online) this summer (@ejwagenmakers.bsky.social, @fbartos.bsky.social). More information at jasp-stats.org/workshops/ but to sum up:

Workshop 3: Wednesday August 26th “A Crash Course in Machine Learning with JASP”. This workshop will explain the key concepts of machine learning and take full advantage of the extensive machine learning techniques that are available in JASP.

26 Feb

Workshop 4: Thursday August 27th and Friday August 28th, the annual workshop “Theory and Practice of Bayesian Hypothesis Testing with JASP”. The main purpose of this workshop is to familiarize participants with key Bayesian concepts in hypothesis testing.

Workshop 1: Monday August 24th, “Discovering Statistics using JASP” based on my textbook with Johnny van Doorn, and @ejwagenmakers.bsky.social. Ideal for teachers who want to teach with the book, and students (and others) who wish to improve their stats knowledge. [NB, I'm not running the workshop.]

26 Feb

Workshop 2: Tuesday August 25th, “State-of-the-Art Meta-Analysis using JASP”. This workshop will present both frequentist and Bayesian methods for meta-analysis.
