Want to learn JASP? My colleagues (@ejwagenmakers.bsky.social) at UVA are running workshops in August: jasp-stats.org/2026/02/03/h...

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.

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. 😎

Giving a talk at Uni of Amsterdam (@ejwagenmakers.bsky.social) today: Statistical Practice in Psychology: The Numbers of the Beast based largely on @martinasladek.bsky.social brilliant PHD work. profandyfield.github.io/presentation...

Using functions in R and the pipe operator: youtu.be/FRr5kdX-3x0?...

Woohoo. Finally arrived. Excited to get into it. The plan is to support students using either R or SPSS in my future course. Also: text author @profandyfield.com is on here!

Fun times at the University of Sussex today where we all received an email at the end of the working day to tell us whether our jobs fall into the ‘at risk’ category. University of Sussex plans to cut 200 jobs www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

🤘🏻 @profandyfield.com

Thanks for explaining R in a way that actually sticks 🤘 @profandyfield.com

There's also `creating objects in R`, but that one doesn't involve cake and I look really misreable in the thumbnail. youtu.be/i894fWOkmEw

Today's offering .... what is a function? youtu.be/mM0fbog7zC8

As already mentioned, I'm re-vampiong my youtube channel. Just dropped the first few R videos. I'll be doing SPSS and R throughout the rest of the year if all goes to plan. youtube.com/playlist?lis...

Speaking of crazy d values, this reminds me of this feature I was thinking about adding to the forest() function in metafor. #Rstats #MetaAnalysis

Mini 'what is mediation' video just released. I'm trying to decouple the 'what is it' from the 'how to do it' so that I can do different software run throughs without having to repeat myself on 'what is it'. We'll see if that works. youtube.com/playlist?lis...

Updated videos on Mediation in SPSS have just dropped: youtube.com/playlist?lis...

I've given my youtube channel a rebrand - I'm updating a lot of the SPSS videos and adding new stuff while I'm at it. The aim is to add stuff throughout the rest of the year. Send your students there! www.youtube.com/@ProfAndyField

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

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.

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.

Publication date looms ever closer ... physical copies exist (at the @sagepub.com London office, I await my own copy with excitement).

Very different to last weekend’s musical experience but Courtney Marie Andrews was amazing in Brighton tonight. Great setlist too!❤️

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:

Incredible show tonight by my guitar hero❤️

This month is LGBT+ History Month in the UK, and we’re sharing a hub of resources that highlight LGBTQIA+ research – featuring valuable insights on topics like sexual orientation, queer theory, and more. Read and explore now: https://ow.ly/xoIn50Yi54P

Two preprints from my PhD are now up! Both ask: is the Statistics Anxiety Rating Scale (STARS) is measuring something distinct from the Revised Mathematics Anxiety Scale (R-MARS), or is this a jangle fallacy? Study 1: osf.io/preprints/ps... Study 2: osf.io/preprints/ps...

New paper with the brilliant @martinasladek.bsky.social on analytic practices when using the general linear model royalsocietypublishing.org/rsos/article...

In preparation for the imminent publication of the new edition of my R textbook, the updated interactive tutorials are now available on CRAN. I did a massive re-write last summer, road tested them in my teaching last term, and I’m pretty happy with them. For now. cran.r-project.org/web/packages...

@posit.co this fundamentally undermines me using your products as a teaching tool. Will this be in posit cloud too? If so, instructors need to be able to switch this off in module workspaces.

Et tu, Brute?

high on my list would be travelling from one side of London to the other at 8am to buy concert tickets from the venue box office, with cash, when they went on sale and still having change from £10.

Reading proofs …. The R book is imminent!

From @profandyfield.com - It's #Halloween, so time for a song featuring dancing #skeletons and #statistics... www.youtube.com/watch?v=XHR3...

RIP UK higher education.

Stupidly excited to get my copy of this … thanks @darrenhayman.bsky.social

All sign this please @hopenothate.org.uk secure.hopenothate.org.uk/page/178037/...

Just uploaded the updated `discovr_18` R tutorial, which it turns out I did months ago and just needed some tweaks (hooray). Covers contingency tables and chi-square stuff. Changed to match the chapter of the forthcoming textbook. github.com/profandyfiel...

While re-writing my R tutorials I removed the Bayes material from individual tutorials, rewrote it, and collected it in its own home. Just pushed the resulting tutorial `discovr_bayes` to github, it's a gentle intro to Bayesian estimation using rstanarm. github.com/profandyfiel...

Fear not, if you liked the old version of `discovr_19` that matches my lecture at youtu.be/yniFrp8vQLQ?... then `discovr_19_xmas, which is the Christmas version, has you covered:) github.com/profandyfiel...

Just uploaded the updated `discovr_19` R tutorial, which covers logistic regression. This one is almost unrecognizable from the old version, changed to match the chapter of the forthcoming textbook. github.com/profandyfiel...

excited to get my copy ....

@impq.bsky.social look what you made me do …

Just uploaded the updated `discovr_15_growth` R tutorial, which covers multilevel growth models. This one is almost unrecognizable from the old version and includes two new examples in Ch 15 and 16 of the forthcoming textbook. github.com/profandyfiel...

Just uploaded the updated `discovr_14` R tutorial, which covers multilevel models. At some point, I'll try to post a low-down on the changes to these tutorials, but first, I need to finish them ... github.com/profandyfiel...
