Here’s the plan we are working on to update everything with official details: JASP + OSKB: The JASP pages on OSF are all updated: https://osf.io/t56kg/ I have built the structure for the JASP page with the OSKB … it’s still pending as of October 12, but you will be able to find it at this link when they approve it: https://www.oercommons.org/courseware/lesson/73379 In discussions with the OSKB today, we are going to put together a few promotional materials to help everyone find the community including a paper for the JASP materials, a presentation at Midwestern Psychological Association, and a twitter poster for the Society of Teaching of Psychology. https://statisticsofdoom.com/post/real-updates-patreon-new-videos/ Fri, 13 Mar 2020 00:00:00 +0000 buchananlab@gmail.com (statstools.com) https://statisticsofdoom.com/post/real-updates-patreon-new-videos/ Hi everybody! I am working over the next several days to update the website, youtube videos, and generally make things easier to find. Many years ago, a friend bought the statstools.com website and has graciously hosted it for us over the years. I finally convinced him that I should probably be in charge of handling that, especially because it isn’t free! I transferred the site to my services, and it has given me trouble ever since. https://statisticsofdoom.com/post/new-site/ Sun, 16 Feb 2020 00:00:00 +0000 buchananlab@gmail.com (statstools.com) https://statisticsofdoom.com/post/new-site/ Check out the new website! Pages are coming soon with lots of updated materials. I have started a new github site where all the materials for courses will appear, to make it easier for you to find everything you need. I have provided entire courses for you to take yourself, use for your classroom, etc. If you are an instructor and want to check out the answer keys, please drop me a line by using the email icon at the bottom of the screen. https://statisticsofdoom.com/post/2019-in-review/ Thu, 05 Dec 2019 00:00:00 +0000 buchananlab@gmail.com (statstools.com) https://statisticsofdoom.com/post/2019-in-review/ The Year of the Thesis! Just wanted to highlight several publications from this year, which were mostly theses from some fabulous young researchers: Scofield, J.E., Kostic, B., & Buchanan, E.M. (2019). How the presence of others affects desirability judgments in heterosexual and homosexual participants. Archives of Sexual Behavior, X, XX–XX. doi: 10.1007/s10508-019-01516-w Maxwell, N.P. & Buchanan, E.M. (2019). Investigating the interaction of direct and indirect relation on memory judgments and retrieval. https://statisticsofdoom.com/post/new-publications-oct-19/ Sun, 06 Oct 2019 00:00:00 +0000 buchananlab@gmail.com (statstools.com) https://statisticsofdoom.com/post/new-publications-oct-19/ Just updated my CV - here’s a few new publications and conferences! The weird thing about the automatic CV updater I wrote is that you can’t really predict what order the same year publications are going to be in - not that it matters in general, but it’s an interesting side effect. Also, super proud - both of these are student theses turned papers: Maxwell, N.P. & Buchanan, E.M. (2019).Investigating the interaction of direct and in-direct relation on memory judgments and retrieval. https://statisticsofdoom.com/post/multilevel-modeling-workshop-materials/ Wed, 15 May 2019 00:00:00 +0000 buchananlab@gmail.com (statstools.com) https://statisticsofdoom.com/post/multilevel-modeling-workshop-materials/ Many thanks to Rutgers University Spanish and Portuguese Department (https://span-port.rutgers.edu/) for asking me to come talk about multilevel models. I enjoyed talking to the group, meeting Twitter friends in real life!, and I am especially impressed by what their department is doing in what is often considered a qualitative science. I used RStudio’s Cloud to share a workspace with all the materials, packages, and other information you might need. I built the slide show using markdown, so that people could watch the slides and/or take their own notes. https://statisticsofdoom.com/post/line-endings-are-dumb/ Thu, 20 Dec 2018 00:00:00 +0000 buchananlab@gmail.com (statstools.com) https://statisticsofdoom.com/post/line-endings-are-dumb/ I have happily acquired a new Mac Book (yay!) and a new work computer (Windows). So, I’ve been making One Drive exceedingly unhappy moving GBs of file from one to another. As I was working on reconnecting my GitHub repositories to the files, I was trying to understand why several of my repos were saying I had a bunch of file changes but nothing in the files themselves had changed. I noticed they were mostly . https://statisticsofdoom.com/post/jasp-videos-guides/ Mon, 29 Oct 2018 00:00:00 +0000 buchananlab@gmail.com (statstools.com) https://statisticsofdoom.com/post/jasp-videos-guides/ Hey everybody! I am back and finally getting to videos again. I hesistate to say “it’s been crazy!” because I feel like that’s always a thing that academics say, but I will say I’ve had a lot of life going on, and I am finally getting back to a normal amount of crazy. I’ve decided to do some simple videos to start - so I am creating how-to videos to go with our JASP guides we created this summer. https://statisticsofdoom.com/post/quick-and-dirty-categorical-lavaan/ Thu, 05 Jul 2018 00:00:00 +0000 buchananlab@gmail.com (statstools.com) https://statisticsofdoom.com/post/quick-and-dirty-categorical-lavaan/ I was tagged today on twitter asking about categorical variables in lavaan. I will say I have not done much with categorical predictors either endogenous or exogenous. I did a quick reproducible example of exogenous variables, and I will refer you to the help guide for lavaan here. You will need both the lavaan and psych packages to reproduce this code. Ironically, this data is binary outcome data (the epi dataset in psych), which wasn’t intentional, I just knew it was a good dataset to work with to test how to do exogenous categorical variables. https://statisticsofdoom.com/post/new-publications-and-updated-cv/ Fri, 01 Jun 2018 00:00:00 +0000 buchananlab@gmail.com (statstools.com) https://statisticsofdoom.com/post/new-publications-and-updated-cv/ Hi guys! I just wanted to post that I’ve updated the website to be current with some new publications I wanted to highlight: First up is two papers on psycholinguistics that were undergraduate student projects: Duncan, J., Buchanan, E.M., Marshall, C.Z., & Oberdieck, K. (accepted). But words will never hurt me, Journal of Psychology and Behavioral Sciences, X, XX-XX. PDF Forbes, F.-J., & Buchanan, E. M. (accepted). “Textisms”: The Comfort of the Recipient, Psychology of Popular Media Culture, X, XX-XX. https://statisticsofdoom.com/post/current-publications-with-papaja/ Mon, 21 May 2018 00:00:00 +0000 buchananlab@gmail.com (statstools.com) https://statisticsofdoom.com/post/current-publications-with-papaja/ Heyo! Frederik, the author of papaja, requested that we update him with papers written with his package. I was like, oh man, like the whole lab?! So, I decided that I could probably make it easy by making a table here. Obviously, this table is current at the moment, as I hope many of the ones under review will get accepted, and I have several others that we will start writing soon. https://statisticsofdoom.com/post/gathering-text-from-the-web/ Mon, 07 May 2018 00:00:00 +0000 buchananlab@gmail.com (statstools.com) https://statisticsofdoom.com/post/gathering-text-from-the-web/ Hi everyone! I don’t really feel like working too hard today, so I decided to write a blog post about how my student Will and I used rvest to mine articles from several different news sources for a project. All the scripts and current ongoings of this project can be found on our OSF page - this project is also connected to the GitHub folder with the files. First, we picked four web sources to scrape - The New York Times, NPR, Fox News, and Breitbart because of their known political associations, and specifically, we focused on their political sections. https://statisticsofdoom.com/page/about/ Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000 buchananlab@gmail.com (statstools.com) https://statisticsofdoom.com/page/about/ About Stats of DOOM When I originally started posting my videos on YouTube, I never really thought people would be interested in them - minus a few overachieving students. I am glad that I’ve been able to help so many folks! I have taught many statistics courses - you can view full classes by using the Learn tab in the top right. I have also taught cognitive and language courses, some with coding (see the NLP and Language Modeling courses), and some without (see Other Courses). https://statisticsofdoom.com/page/advanced-statistics/ Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000 buchananlab@gmail.com (statstools.com) https://statisticsofdoom.com/page/advanced-statistics/ Advanced Statistics Course Description: This course is a survey course over topics of the use of statistics in psychology, which will cover advanced statistical procedures from ANOVA (between, repeated measures, multivariate), regression (multiple, log linear), and pictures (canonical correlation, multidimensional scaling, factor analysis).
